• Related Companies. For example, we may want to understand audience overlap with Sky.

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. To learn how to opt-out, you can go to this link.

In Nevada we are required to state that certain Nevada consumers may opt out of the sale of “covered information” for monetary consideration to a person for that person to license or sell such information. “Covered information” includes first and last name, address, email address, phone number, Social Security Number, or an identifier that allows a specific person to be contacted either physically or online. While NBCUniversal does not currently engage in this activity, if you are a Nevada resident who has purchased goods or services from NBCUniversal, you may submit a request to opt out of any potential future sales under Nevada law by emailing us at privacy@nbcuni.com. Please use “Nevada Do Not Sell” in the subject line.
