1Sells / sharesstated

1Trains AIstated
Netflix discloses no generative-AI training program, but it also makes no affirmative pledge not to train on user content — its data use centers on recommendations/personalization. Scored 1 for silence: only an explicit no-training commitment earns a 2.

0API access — feeds Agent Readiness, not the /12stated
Netflix retired its public developer API in 2014; a member's viewing activity and account data are available only by submitting a request through the self-service "Get My Info" portal, which Netflix states can take up to 30 days.
Netflix — request a copy of your information · accessed Jun 2026 ↗
Netflix scores well on self-serve CSV access, self-serve deletion, and no disclosed generative-AI training program, but is dragged down by the up-to-30-day SLA, marketing data-sharing, and an explicit statement that it does not honor "Do Not Track" / GPC signals. Source-verified Jun 2026; all cells stated (read from published policy/support docs), none yet tested via live export.
