Some Google TV services use your data to help Google TV run.
How Google TV works
You can bring together movies, TV shows, sports programmes, apps and subscriptions and organise them with Google TV.

Google collects certain information to provide it to Google TV. Some of this functionality uses Google Play services. For example, Google TV may collect:
- Your watchlist, watch activity and streaming services for recommendations. Learn how to understand recommendations on Google TV.
- Approximate location, user and device IDs, app interactions, crash logs, diagnostics, other actions and other IDs for app functionality, analytics, advertising/marketing (for TV devices only, if applicable) and personalisation purposes.
- Crash logs and diagnostics for analytics purposes.

Privacy
- When Google TV's location setting is off and the Internet is connected, Google or third parties may still receive your general location through your Internet Protocol (IP) address.
- Learn about how IP addresses work on Google.
Privacy For a customised home-screen experience on your TV, you can add more than one profile to your Google TV and sign in to Google services with multiple accounts. This is especially helpful if there are other users in your household.
