Your Data: A Kid’s Guide to NBCU’s Privacy Policy
Introduction
Welcome to NBCUniversal!
This Guide is for kids. NBCUniversal has lots of services. Most of our services are for users who are 18 years old and older. For some, you must be over the age of 12 to use them. You should check with parent or guardian before you use our services.
If you are allowed to use our services, this guide explains the information we might collect about you and how we use it when you use NBCUniversal’s services in a way that is easier to read for kids. If you also want to learn even more, you (and your parent or guardian) can take a look at our main Privacy Policy. It may be a little harder to read, but there is more information in there.
There is also some information for parents and guardians regarding choices for kids’ information below, but our main Privacy Policy for parents and guardian or other adult users is here.
If you have any questions, you or your parent or guardian can contact us at [email protected].
In this policy we are going to explain:
- Helpful words
- What information we collect
- How we use your information
- Who we give your information to
- How we protect your information
- Some choices you have

For Children
Before using any of our services, you should check with your parent or guardian to make sure you are allowed to. If you are allowed to use the service, you or your parent or guardian might share information with us. Most of the time, we do not have users we know are children. If you just look at website or if use one of our services because your parent or guardian signed up, we usually do not know who you are or how old you are.
Depending on how old you are and what you are doing, we may know different things about you.
Information we collect
What information could we have about you and we how get it?
We need information about you to provide our services and we may get this information a few different places:
- you or your parent or guardian
- your phone, computer, or tablet. Sometimes we might get this information from technology called cookies. We have more information on cookies and other tracking technologies here, but it is more complicated, so ask a trusted parent or guardian if you need help making choices about cookies
- we might get information about you from others – like your family and friends
- from other companies.
Information we have from these different places might include:
- Facts about you, like your name, email, address, phone number, or other information like that. But kids are not allowed to have accounts, and most of the time you are not allowed to give us this information.
- Things that you might enjoy, like sports, types of shows, characters, and games.
Remember not to give us anything you do not think you should share or anything you do not want to share.
If we have information about you from different places, we might put it all together in one place unless we know you are a kid.
How do we use your information
- Run our services, like showing you movies or tv shows
- Help you and your parent or guardian if you have questions or need more information
- Make sure you are who you say you are
- Make the service easier and more fun to use
- Show ads on our services or show ads for our services
- Show you other things you may like
- Protect everybody

Safety
Be careful!
We want to keep you and your information safe. To be safe, do not share your private information with us or with anyone on the internet. If you have a password, keep it a secret, except from your parent or guardian.
Your parents or guardians
Sometimes your parent or guardian may be able to see how you use certain services (like what you watched) or ask for your information about how you use the services. This is to protect you and to keep you safe.
What choices do you have?
Depending on how old you are, you or your parent or guardian might have the ability to choose what we do with your information. You (or more likely your parent or guardian) can ask us:
- What we know about you
- How we use your information
- To stop using your information
- To change or delete your information
Contact us here. We might ask for a little more about you to make sure you are who you say you are.
Changes to this policy
Sometimes we make changes to the Policy to make sure it is right. If we do, the new Policy will have a new date and will be right here. If we make a big change, we will tell you so you know and we will update this Guide.
