  • Xfinity may give you a credit after an outage.
  • If you qualify, it is added for you.

The What

If a recent Xfinity outage affected you, you might qualify for a credit. You can check online, and if you qualify, Xfinity applies the credit on its own.

The Why

If your internet went down recently, you may be owed money back on your bill. There is a limit on how much credit an account can get, so not everyone qualifies.

  • Xfinity has a new privacy notice just for kids and teens.
  • The way parents ask about kids' data stays the same.

The What

Xfinity's privacy policy now says it may collect children's info as the law allows, as described in its new Kids and Teens Privacy Notice. Parents still use the same email for requests.

The Why

If kids or teens in your home use Xfinity, the new notice may explain more about how their info is handled. Parents can still ask to see, fix or delete a child's info.

  • Xfinity added a California section to its privacy policy.
  • It mainly matters if you live in California.

The What

Xfinity's privacy policy adds a new section heading for a California notice at collection. Nothing was removed, and no other change is shown.

The Why

Sections like this usually list what info is gathered from people in California and why. On its own, it does not show any shift in how your data gets used.

  • Xfinity may share your info with other companies for ads.
  • A line saying it doesn't sell info that names you is gone.

The What

Xfinity's policy now says it may share your info with other companies, including for marketing and ads, and with other Comcast businesses. The old promise to ask first before sharing with Comcast companies was removed.

The Why

Your info may now be shared more widely for ads, with settings as the main way to limit it. Without the old no-sale line, there's no promise your data stays inside Xfinity.

  • Xfinity's privacy policy added a mention of Maryland.
  • It mostly matters if you live in Maryland.

The What

The word Maryland was added to Xfinity's privacy policy, and nothing was removed. The edit by itself doesn't reveal what the new text says.

The Why

This likely points to privacy rules for Maryland residents, so it matters most if you live there. For most customers, it is probably a small change.

  • Xfinity may share data like your IP address for ads.
  • Partners may still be able to figure out who you are.

The What

Xfinity now says data that doesn't name you, like IP addresses and device IDs, may go to other firms for ads. It also says those firms may be able to tell who you are from other data.

The Why

Some old promises are gone, like asking you before sharing for other firms' ads. Since partners might link the data back to you, your settings now matter more than any promise.

  • Xfinity may create voice and face data to check who you are.
  • You can ask to be left off marketing lists.

The What

Xfinity's policy now says it may create biometric data, like voiceprints and face scans, when it verifies your identity. You can also ask to join its own do-not-call, do-not-mail and do-not-knock lists.

The Why

If you verify your identity with Xfinity, your face or voice may be recorded and kept. There may be another way to verify, and a phone number lets you stop marketing contact.

  • Your landlord or school may get your Xfinity account details.
  • This applies if they provide your internet.

The What

If a landlord, school, local government or nonprofit pays for your internet, Xfinity may give them your sign-up info, your plan, when it was turned on and your overall use. New state privacy parts were added too.

The Why

In shared homes, schools or public programs, whoever pays for your internet may see details about your account. Some data is now called not directly identifying, and the full policy says what that means.
