In plain English — Netflix
Netflix collects detailed viewing behaviour, device fingerprints, and advertising data — including interests inferred by third-party ad companies from your activity across the internet — to serve behavioural ads on its ad-supported tier. Controls are reasonably accessible, but retention timelines are vague, Do Not Track is ignored, and the breadth of the ad-tech ecosystem is larger than you might expect from a subscription service.

Proton collects as little as technically possible, can't read your encrypted content even if asked, is governed by strict Swiss law, and gives you real control — the rare case where the privacy policy matches the privacy pitch.
