As much as I really like plex and depend on its characteristics for my personal library, I do not want to share more data than necessary. This is not criticized by plex, but I have changed these privacy settings, and you should also do.

Go to Incognito with your profile privacy settings
I do not care about the idea of the people that I am able to see what I am looking at on the places, not out of shame but because of the principles of the case. I do not even want the users’ names of my friends to be revealed when someone sees my list of friends. You can get these settings tweet to be completely private:
-
In plex, open setting Choose more Secrecy On the left, near the top.

For Account visibility and activity sharingchoose edit,
-
For maximum privacy, set everything Personal,
The only option that may not be private Account visibility, So next is the best option Friends onlyMake sure to save, and you are leaving to be a little more private.

End membership for those pesky marketing emails
Seeing the marketing email in my inbox harasses me, and it is one of the reasons that I have two emails (or a great reason to use the email surname!). One is used to sign up for services (raising the problem of problem), while the other is for personal use. Thankfully, if you have an email, you can at least unseen with the marketing email of the plex.

Prevent plex from selling personal data
When you can use the plex strictly to reach your media library, it also has advertising materials that you can stream. If there is a lack of your library, this is a good way to expand on your options, although there are cheap ways to expand your plex library. However, it is an Avenue for more data collection, so let’s stop it:
-
In plex, open Settings> Privacy.
-
Click on the hyperlink for privacy preferences how your personal data is used.
-
Remove the right mark If this box is checked, please can sell your personal data as described in privacy policy … And also check Not allThen finish with Save preferences,
Now, it will prevent the plex from selling and sharing some information, but it will not remove advertisements, even if you choose the option of the plex pass.

Request that plex removes your data
Even if you were using all these tips to promote your privacy on the plex, it does not help in the previously collected data. When you can’t do anything about it, if you want to stop using Plex completely, you can remove your data on the outside. Please note that this action will permanently remove your account and all related materials.
-
First, you need to travel Please Cabinet Request Center Site And choose your country and state.
-
Next, choose Start the deletion request And provide your first and last name, email, and write any comment.

Click and finish Review request,
Should you keep the plex around, and you get eager, you can also send an access and transfer request to see what kind of data you have collected.
In my book, collecting, sending and selling my data is less services. I may like what plex provides in terms of features, but like most businesses, there is no reason to promote my data like dragon hoardings gold.
