Does the T4 collect my viewing data?
No. The T4 doesn’t use automatic content recognition (ACR), and we don’t collect any data from the box. There are no user profiles or Manhattan accounts either.
When you use an app such as BBC iPlayer or ITVX, what you do in it is between you and the app’s provider, and each app shows its own privacy notice.
The T4’s privacy settings are in Settings → Internet → App Options:
- Do Not Track asks apps not to collect or track your browsing data. It’s up to each app whether it does.
- Clear Browsing Data clears that data and logs you out of all your apps.
- Device Discovery (DIAL) lets other devices on your network, such as a phone, find the T4 and open apps like YouTube on it. You can turn it off here.
