Privacy Policy

Introduction

We know you care about your privacy and the protection of your personal information. We also know it is our responsibility to be clear about how we protect your information. We designed this Privacy Policy to do just that. It explains the types of personal information we collect, and how we collect, use, maintain, protect, and share this information. This Privacy Policy also tells you about the rights and choices you may have when it comes to your personal information.

Some of what we say in our Privacy Policy is required by law, and may at times seem long and complicated, but we’ve worked hard to try to make our Privacy Policy easy to understand and provide examples where possible. The Xfinity Privacy Center includes more information about:

How to review and manage your personal information and account activity
How to manage your preference, including setting your marketing and advertising preferences, and restricting certain uses and sharing
How you can better protect yourself online

You can review this Privacy Policy and the information in the Xfinity Privacy Center anytime. If you still have questions, you can contact us for more information.

When the Privacy Policy applies

This Privacy Policy applies to the information we collect when you use or interact with the business entities, products, services, networks, and platforms, including our websites, mobile apps, and other services and devices where this policy is referenced. These may include Xfinity-branded services, Comcast-branded Services, Xumo-branded Services, and other products and services we deliver. This Privacy Policy also applies when you otherwise interact with us. We’ll refer to all of these as our “Services” in this Privacy Policy. It also applies to the information we collect about you from third parties.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the other products, services, websites, and applications (mobile or television) that you may use or interact with through Xfinity platforms.

The personal information we collect and how we collect it

To provide you with our Services, we collect your personal information. This can include information that does not personally identify you – such as device numbers, IP addresses, and account numbers. It may also include information that does personally identify you, such as your name, address, and telephone number. We call any information that identifies you “personally identifiable information” or “PII.”

If you allow others to use your Services, we will also collect personal information about those individuals. If you use our Services through someone else’s account, we will collect information about you, but it may not identify who you are to us. We may also collect information about you from third parties.

We collect this information to provide our Services, communicate with you, respond to your requests, and to tailor our Services to best meet your needs and interests.

How and when we use information, including for marketing and advertising

We use the information we collect to provide our Services and communicate with you. We also use it to improve our Services, develop new products and services, give recommendations, deliver personalized consumer experiences (including marketing and advertising for our own and others’ products and services), investigate theft and other illegal activities, and to ensure a secure online environment.

We may combine information across our systems, platforms, and databases. This includes combining information we receive from third parties and information about your use of our Services. We may also combine information about your use of one Service with information we get from your use of another Service.

When and with whom we share information

You are in control of your data. We do not sell, and have never sold, information that identifies who you are to anyone. This includes your Internet usage information, video usage information, or call detail information. If you participate in offers that require us to disclose your identifiable data, we will, but only at your direction and with your consent.

We share personal information with others when it’s needed to provide you with our Services, including credit reporting agencies. We also share personal information with others:

When you direct us to do so, including to authorize other users on your account
When required by law or to respond to legal process
To protect our property or rights or the safety of our employees, our customers, or other individuals

If we share your personal information with other companies for their own marketing and advertising activities, we will first get your consent. This may be through opt-in or opt-out settings, depending on the type of personal information shared.

We may also share personal information that does not identify you with third parties for their own marketing and advertising purposes, which you can opt out of. This mainly occurs when you interact with our websites and mobile applications that contain third-party cookies or other advertising trackers. To learn more about this, please read our Cookie Notice

How we protect your information

We follow industry-standard practices to secure the information we collect to prevent the unauthorized access, use, or disclosure of any personal information we collect and maintain. These security practices include technical, administrative, and physical safeguards, which may vary, depending on the type and sensitivity of the information. Although we take the responsibility of safeguarding your personal information seriously, no security measures are 100% effective and we cannot guarantee that these practices will prevent every unauthorized attempt to access, use, or disclose your information. Comcast also takes additional steps to increase the security and reliability of customer communications. We do not read your outgoing or incoming email, file attachments, video mail, private chat, or instant messages. However, we (along with our service providers) use software and hardware tools to help prevent and block “spam” emails, viruses, spyware, and other harmful or unwanted communications and programs from being sent and received over Comcast.net email and the Comcast Services. To help protect you and the Services against these harmful or unwanted communications and programs, these tools may automatically scan your emails, video mails, instant messages, file attachments, and other files and communications. We do not use these tools for marketing or advertising.

How long we keep your information

We keep your personal information for different lengths of time depending on the type of information and the business and legal requirements. For example, if you are a customer, we keep information that personally identifies you as long as you subscribe to one or more of our Services. If you no longer subscribe to a Service, we still may need that information for business and legal requirements, such as to protect against fraud, calculate taxes, or respond to legal requests. Other information is deleted automatically after a set period of time, often set by law, unless we are legally required to hold it longer, such as for pending litigation. We destroy, de-identify, or anonymize the information when it is no longer needed in identifiable form.

The choices you have to control our use of personal information

You have many choices about how we communicate with you and how we use or share your information. You can manage these settings in the Xfinity Privacy Preferences Center. If you change your mind, you can update your preferences any time.

How to access and correct the information in our records

Part of our commitment to transparency includes giving our customers access to the personal information we have about them. If you subscribe to our Services, you have the ability to see and correct your personally identifiable information through your online account services.

Certain states may give you additional rights, as described in the “Additional information regarding other laws and individual rights” section of this Privacy Policy.

All individuals may also make requests to access and correct certain personal information, and to have us delete certain personal information through our Privacy Center by visiting xfinity.com/privacy/requests.

Changes to this Privacy Policy
