Peacock

Streaming & Entertainment

Source-backed from NBCUniversal Privacy Policy

This report covers the NBCUniversal Privacy Policy, which applies to the NBCUniversal Services throughout the world and does not name Peacock. Peacock’s privacy address opened its November 17, 2025 edition on October 18, 2026; this report was read from the July 7, 2026 edition, and every passage it quotes appears word for word in both. It does not cover the additional privacy terms for specific NBCUniversal products or services, which the policy says should be read in conjunction with it.
