Audio, electronic, visual, thermal, olfactory, or similar information.

Clarification: after a bit of research it seems the olfactory section pertains to CCPA California law, many places have olfactory in the privacy policy because it is required by the law. I can't believe we reached a point where we have to put olfactory in the privacy policy, but then again it won't be long before Smell-O-Vision becomes reality.

And you're someone who cares enough about privacy to subscribe to this community.

Which is why the only actual viable solution is legislation and privacy protection laws.

but also because reading the policy doesn't help much when there are no options (brands) that are acceptable

OP could have included a summary, description, or quote of what they're referring to and criticizing. They did not.

If you don't own a Roku device, there's no reason to read all that. I certainly don't want to read the full privacy policy either and then guess what OP opened a discussion about or other commenters talk about.

Also, this community is called piracy, not privacy.
