Streaming Privacy Basics: Protecting Accounts and Devices
This guide is for lawful, licensed streaming services and apps.
Privacy starts with choosing legitimate services, securing your account, and understanding what a device or app collects. Do not use tools to evade a provider’s regional restrictions or terms.
Secure the account first
Use a unique password and multi-factor authentication where available. Review signed-in devices and remove any you do not recognize.
Choose networks carefully
Keep home Wi-Fi protected and avoid entering passwords on unfamiliar public networks. Update the streaming device and router regularly.
Read the controls
Review app and TV privacy settings, advertising controls, and data permissions. Select options that suit your household and remove services you no longer use.
For service-specific help, always use the official documentation and support channel for the provider you use.
