New Privacy Policy - you can no longer opt out of data collection

Oh, I’ll bite, but, you’re either a 1. bumbling idiot, 2. purposely acting stupid or 3. so far out of touch or I suppose 4. arrogant ad nauseam

Well, I can tell we’re going to get along great given how abusive you’re being right out of the gate :smile:

“We have never been interested in what media you have in your library, or what library media you’re watching. This hasn’t changed, and will not change!”

Says the company who doesn’t respect ALL privacy matters, removes the ability to OPT-OUT and believes they get to decide WHAT constitutes PRIVATE information. MY server, MY hardware, MY subscription to ISP, generating data from what is on MY server, what -I- watch, really, do I need to go on?

That seems like a non-sequitur, so I’m not sure how to respond. I stand by my original statement, which is true. We don’t know what’s in your library, nor what you’re playing. But for example, if you’re using our app on your iPhone remotely, it’s going to connect to OUR cloud service to figure out where YOUR server is, just as an example, and as a result, we need to store information about YOUR SERVER and YOUR IP ADDRESS.

“We’re not going to put ads on your personal content. Any mention of advertising in the ToC is specially meant to cover third party commercial content. If you don’t want to watch that content, you certainly don’t have to.”

Why not? You’re going to need to run ads to generate the lost revenue stream. Though I suspect you have plenty of capital by now not to care… or DO you?

Again, not sure how this is relevant or how to respond, as you evidently have your own narrative.

I doubt it helped… because honestly, the sheer fact that Plex made this move (even if just an announcement at this point) shows, you’re idiots.

I don’t think we can have a productive conversation about this, but I’m happy to refund you your lifetime membership if you’d like. I’m truly sorry that these changes have upset you as much as they have.
