How does NBCUniversal use my personal information?
Depending on the Services you use, below are some examples of how we might use it. To learn more about how we use data NBCUniversal you can consult our Privacy Policy. We may use information in order to:
- Provide the NBCUniversal Services, for example if you have trouble accessing a feature on a website, we can offer you support. We may also use the fact that you had trouble to work to improve that feature or create new ones.
- Personalize your experience, for example if you like to watch action movies, we may show you other action movies you may enjoy.
- Send you marketing communications, for example we may send you information about a sweepstakes to win a trip to our Parks.
- Provide a seamless experience across platforms, for example, we will recognize your log-in so you can finish the tv episode you started on a different device and serve you advertising based on what you view.
- Market and Advertise for third parties, for example we may take the fact that you enjoy articles about celebrities and use that fact to serve you relevant or related advertisements.
- Protect our users, Services, and properties, for example we may detect an unauthorized attempt to log in to an account.
How does NBCUniversal share my personal information?
Depending on the Services you use, below are some examples of how we might share your personal information. To learn more, please consult our Privacy Policy.
- Related Companies. For example, we may want to understand audience overlap with Sky.
- Advertisers, Advertising Networks, and Other Third Parties. For example, we may collect a device ID along with the content you have viewed and conclude you may enjoy scary movies. We may then pass your device ID along to an advertising network in order to serve you advertisements about scary movies.
- Partners. For example, you may ask us to share your information with an airline or hotel in order to book a flight as part of a vacation package.
- Social Networks. For example, you may click ‘share’ to have a news story from an NBCUniversal property appear on your social media account. When you do this some information about you will be passed to the platform.
- Service Providers. For example, we may user a vendor to collect data about a user’s ‘journey’—what webpage they start on, what pages they view and for how long--to optimize our website.
- Search Engines. For example, if you post a picture of a drawing you made on one of our websites, that drawing may then be available via search engines since the website is publicly available.
- Law Enforcement. For example, we may work with law enforcement if we detect potential fraud on one of our digital platforms.
Does NBCUniversal sell my personal information?
The California Consumer Privacy Act defines a ‘sale’ in a way that may include allowing a third party to receive certain information to add to a profile about your device, browser, or you. This profiling powers interest-based advertising on some NBCUniversal sites and services, and allows us to keep many of our sites and services at low or no cost.
