    Incredibly concerning.

    Maybe if you just ignore the entire highlighted paragraph directly after this, that you conveniently left out:

    Personal media users: We do NOT, and will not, share or sell any information about your personal media or use of a personal media server, and, as we’ve consistently stated, we don’t even collect information about content or titles in your personal media library or what content is played from a personal server.

    If you follow their provided link you can see exactly what the changes are:

    https://www.plex.tv/about/privacy-legal/#who-does-plex-share-personal-data-with

    Basically - if you have your plex account set to PUBLIC then they can share your reviews and watch history etc, which is what you’re agreeing to when you make it public.

    The fact is that they don’t share or sell any information about your personal media or use of personal media server, so what are you worried about? If you watch movies/tv shows that plex provide on their free service then they will likely sell/share that with marketing companies to target ads to you, which is expected.

      Less “conveniently” and more “I ran out of time to finish the article”. I’m sorry that you seem to be invested in this but I’ll still check out alternatives. Don’t worry, my potential switching shouldn’t hurt Plex’s future IPO (are they public already? Or still to come?)

      Have a nice day.

        Why get so defensive? I simply corrected you and pointed out the appropriate links and info. Why attack me for helping correct incorrect information? Seems like you’re the one that’s “invested” if you can’t handle someone correcting you when you spread misinformation about something.

        You “ran out of time to finish the article” seemingly because you got what you wanted as soon as you read that.
