Terms & Privacy

Your Privacy Rights When Streaming Online

Streaming platforms collect some viewing and device data to operate their service, but reputable providers are transparent about what's gathered and why. In the United States, laws like the Video Privacy Protection Act limit how viewing history can be shared with third parties without consent.

When you agree to a platform's terms, you're typically consenting to standard operational data use — things like session logs and basic analytics — not to having your personal viewing habits sold or broadcast. Reading the terms, even briefly, helps you understand what a service actually does with your information.

Good practice for any viewer is to avoid platforms that ask for excessive personal information upfront, and to favor services that clearly state their data retention and deletion policies.
