Our Commitment to Respect 

At Netflix, we believe you are part of a great team of stunning colleagues and you deserve the best working environment. That’s why it’s critically important to us that you are treated equally, respectfully and feel safe in your workplace. But we need your help. We all have a responsibility to help create an inclusive and respectful work environment. We want to make sure that fun, creativity and innovation thrive, but never in a way that hurts you or someone else. 

Let’s talk equality 

You deserve the chance to thrive here, no matter who you are. We’re committed to diversity and inclusion and won’t treat any employee or candidate differently because of what are called “protected categories.” Protected categories are things like race, religion, color, ancestry, national origin, caste, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity or expression, age, disability, medical condition, pregnancy, childbirth, genetic makeup, marital status, military service, and others depending on local laws. We’re committed to this in any aspect of your employment, including in recruitment, hiring, placement, job assignment, compensation, promotion, transfer, benefits, training, demotion, discipline, grievance, or dismissal. 

Our inclusive work environment also extends to transgender and gender non-conforming employees. This means that employees should feel safe to express their gender identity or characteristics without fear of consequences. If you’re transitioning, work with your direct manager and Talent partner to let them know if you have any specific needs or concerns. 

We all have different needs, so we’re happy to provide reasonable accommodations, consistent with local law, if you have a disability. Generally, a reasonable accommodation is a modification to a job or the work environment that will allow an employee with a disability to continue to do their job (or allow an applicant to go through the application process). Talk to your hiring manager or recruiter (for candidates) or direct manager or Talent partner (for employees) if you think you need an accommodation. 

Diversity and inclusion is critically important to us, so any action that’s out of line with this policy won’t be tolerated and we’ll take action when necessary to ensure everyone is treated fairly. 

R-E-S-P-E-C-T 

It’s up to everyone to demand a respectful work environment at all times. We won’t tolerate sexual harassment or any other form of harassment or discrimination. 

Sexual harassment includes things like unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, gross, sexually-charged or obscene remarks or gestures, and any unwelcome touching or other physical contact. But harassment or discrimination can take many forms, and may include bullying, racial epithets, slurs and derogatory remarks, stereotypes and inappropriate jokes, posters, cartoons, texts, e-mail messages, or websites based on the protected categories. 

It’s completely unacceptable for anyone to behave in a way that creates an abusive, disrespectful, intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating, or offensive environment. You deserve better than that. If someone you work with does behave this way, it could violate this policy even if it falls short of unlawful harassment under local law. We won’t tolerate behavior like this and we’ll take action as soon as and however we can, in accordance with local laws. 

When you’re the boss 

We expect even more from you if you’re a manager. Show your team what a respectful and safe work environment looks like. Beyond modeling great behavior, you must also take steps to make sure any inappropriate behaviors inconsistent with this policy are addressed immediately. Here’s a quick way to remember what your responsibilities are: 

● Recognize - Recognize behaviors inconsistent with this policy EARLY, before they become big concerns. 

● Report - Inform your Talent partner what you experienced or witnessed. 

● Respond - Once aware of the issue, we will respond quickly and will take any necessary steps to remedy the concerns. You may be asked to help in this process. 

If something happens 

Tell us. We can’t fix what we don’t know. If you feel harassed or discriminated against (or if you see it happen to someone else), you should report it right away. You can call, talk, email, text or reach out however you feel comfortable. You can contact your manager or Talent partner. We’ve even set up a confidential reporting hotline, EthicsPoint, at www.netflix.ethicspoint.com if that works better for you. 

We will respond to every concern raised involving behaviors inconsistent with these expectations. If we need more information, we will fairly and promptly look into the concerns in order to reach a conclusion. We’ll keep the investigation as confidential as possible--information about the complaint and the outcome will be shared on a limited, need-to-know basis. If we find improper conduct, we’ll take action. 

You deserve a fair and safe environment--and it’s up to everyone to help make it happen. Don’t allow an inappropriate situation to continue by not reporting it, no matter who is creating the situation. Nobody is exempt from this policy, no matter how important they may seem. 

Finally, we won’t retaliate against anyone for bringing a good faith concern to our attention, or for cooperating truthfully in an investigation. We’ll also take action against anyone who retaliates against you if you’re involved in a complaint or investigation. We want to hear from you if something happens. 

Questions? 

We’re here for you. Reach out to your Talent partner, Employee Services or an employee representative if you have any questions about this policy or want to talk more about it.

In order to take an active role in the prevention of insider trading violations by executive officers, directors, employees and other related individuals of Netflix, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries, the Company has adopted this Insider Trading Policy (the “Policy”). 

Statement of Intent 

The Company opposes the misuse of material nonpublic information in the trading of securities and it is the intent of this Policy to implement procedures designed to prevent trading based on material nonpublic information regarding the Company, including any of its subsidiaries. The Company also wishes to discourage certain trading in its securities by its executive officers, directors, employees and other related individuals that may be contrary to the interests of our shareholders. The term "executive officer" herein shall have the same meaning as the term “officer” as defined under Rule 16a-1(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). 

It is also Company policy to comply with applicable securities laws concerning trading in Company securities on the Company’s behalf. 

Definition of Material Nonpublic Information 

It is not possible to define all categories of material information. However, information should be regarded as material if there is a substantial likelihood that it would be considered important to a reasonable investor in making an investment decision regarding transactions of the Company’s securities. Put another way, there must be a substantial likelihood that the information would be viewed by the reasonable investor as having significantly altered the total mix of information available in the market concerning the Company. Either positive or negative information may be material. 

Questions concerning whether nonpublic information is material can be directed to the Compliance Officer. 

Covered Parties 

The Policy covers executive officers, directors and all employees of, or consultants or contractors to, the Company or its subsidiaries, as well as their immediate family members who reside with them, anyone else who lives in their household, and any other individuals who do not live in their household but whose transactions in Company securities are directed by them or are subject to their influence or control (such as parents or children who consult with them before trading in Company securities) (“Insiders”). This Policy applies to trades of Company securities in which an Insider has any “beneficial” or other interest, or over which they exercise investment control. 

Covered Transactions 

This Policy applies to all transactions in the Company’s securities, including common stock, options for common stock and any other securities the Company may issue from time to time, such as preferred stock, warrants and convertible debentures, as well as to derivative securities relating to the Company’s securities, whether or not issued by the Company, such as publicly-traded options. Transactions subject to this Policy include purchases, sales and bona fide gifts of the Company’s securities (which may include gifts to trusts for estate planning purposes, as well as donations to a charitable organization). 

Prohibited Transactions 

No Insider shall engage in any transaction involving the Company’s securities, including any offer to purchase or offer to sell, during any period commencing with the date that the Insider possesses material nonpublic information concerning the Company or its subsidiaries, and ending at the beginning of the trading day following the date of public disclosure of that information, or at such time as such nonpublic information is no longer material. 

No Insider shall disclose (“tip”) material nonpublic information about the Company or its subsidiaries to any other person where such information may be used by such person to their profit by trading in the securities of companies to which such information relates, nor shall such Insider or related person make recommendations or express opinions on the basis of material nonpublic information as to trading in the Company’s securities. 

No Insider shall engage in any transaction involving another company’s securities while in possession of material nonpublic information about such company when that information is obtained in the course of employment with, or the performance of services on behalf of, the Company and the other company is a business partner of the Company such as one with which the Company is discussing a proposed transaction, collaborator, customer, distributor, vendor or supplier. 

Except for participation in the Company’s stock option program, no executive officer or director shall, at any time, engage in any transactions involving any hedging or derivatives of Company securities, including trading in futures and derivative securities and engaging in hedging activities relating to our securities, including exchange traded options, puts, calls, collars, forward sale contracts, equity swaps, exchange funds or other arrangements or instruments designed to hedge or offset decreases in the market value of our securities, provided that it shall not be a violation of this Policy for an executive officer or director to engage in any such transaction initiated prior to March 4, 2020. 

Except as may otherwise be authorized under this Policy, executive officers and directors shall not initiate any transactions subsequent to March 4, 2020 that involve pledging any Company securities as collateral for a loan or holding them as security in a margin account. 

Problematic Transactions 

While employees (other than executive officers, except as otherwise provided) are not prohibited by this Policy from using Company securities as collateral for loans or in margin accounts with respect to the Company’s securities or engaging in transactions involving hedging or derivatives of Company securities, including by means of exchange traded options, puts, calls, collars, forward sale contracts, equity swaps, exchange funds or other arrangements or instruments designed to hedge or offset decreases in the market value of our securities, the Company discourages employees from such activity because, among other problems, these types of transactions may result in transactions in Company securities occurring outside the Open Window (defined below). Limit orders with brokers should not extend beyond any Open Window and be cancellable upon an imposition of a black-out period. Employees interested in trading outside of the Open Window should look into adopting a 10b5-1 trading plan, as described below. Exercising stock options issued pursuant to the Company’s stock option plan, as otherwise permitted under this Policy, is not considered problematic. 

The Company’s Trading Window 

The Company has determined that all executive officers, directors, and those other persons identified on Attachment 1 (as may be amended from time to time by the Compliance Officer), shall be prohibited from buying, selling or otherwise effecting transactions in any stock or other securities of the Company or derivative securities thereof EXCEPT during the following trading window: 

Beginning at the open of market on the trading day following the date of public disclosure of the Company’s financial results for a preceding calendar quarter or year and ending at the close of market on the 10th day of the second calendar month of the current calendar quarter (the “Open Window”). 

In addition, the Company, through the Compliance Officer, may authorize longer or additional trading windows in which buying, selling, gifting or otherwise effecting transactions in the Company’s securities would be permitted pursuant to this Policy as if it were the “Open Window.” Similarly, the Company, through the Compliance Officer, may impose special black-out periods during which certain persons will be prohibited from buying, selling or otherwise effecting transactions in the Company’s securities, even though the trading window would otherwise be open. If a special black-out period is imposed, the Company will notify affected individuals, who should thereafter not engage in any transaction involving the Company’s securities and should not disclose to others the fact of such suspension of trading. 

It should be noted that even during the Open Window, any person possessing material nonpublic information should not engage in any transactions in the Company’s securities until the beginning of the trading day following the date of public disclosure of such information, whether or not the Company has recommended a suspension of trading to that person. 

Pre-Clearance of Trades and Other Transactions 

All executive officers and directors of the Company and other persons designated by the Compliance Officer as being subject to pre-clearance requirements must refrain from trading in or gifting the Company’s securities, even during the Open Window, without first contacting the Company’s Compliance Officer and obtaining pre-clearance to commence trading in the Company’s securities. 

In addition, all executive officers and directors are required to comply with Section 16 of the Exchange Act and related rules and regulations, which set forth reporting obligations as well as limitations on “short swing” transactions. The Company is available to assist in filing Section 16 reporting; however, the obligation to comply with Section 16 is personal. Please direct any inquiries concerning compliance to the Compliance Officer. Executive officers and directors who wish to pledge the Company's stock as collateral after March 4, 2020 must first contact the Company's Compliance Officer to request an exemption and pre-clearance to enter into the transaction. 

Adoption and Effect of 10b5-1 Trading Plans 

The Company permits all directors, executive officers and employees to adopt trading plans in accordance with Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act (“10b5-1 trading plans”). A 10b5-1 trading plan must comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 and may only be adopted or amended in an Open Window and when the person adopting the plan is not otherwise in possession of material nonpublic information about the Company, its subsidiaries or its securities. All 10b5-1 trading plans must be pre-approved by the Compliance Officer or his delegate. The restrictions on trading set forth in this Policy shall not apply to trades made pursuant to a 10b5-1 trading plan. More information concerning trading plans is available from the Compliance Officer. 

Exemptions from this Policy 

The exercise of stock options under the Company’s stock option plan with a cash payment of the exercise price is exempt from this Policy, since the other party to these transactions is the Company itself and the price does not vary with the market, but is fixed by the terms of the option agreement, or the Company withholding a portion of the shares underlying the options to satisfy exercise price or tax withholding requirements. This exemption does not apply to the sale of any shares issued upon such exercise and it does not apply to a cashless exercise of options, which is accomplished by a sale of a portion of the shares issued upon exercise of an option. 

Post-Termination Transactions 

If a person is in possession of material nonpublic information when their service terminates, that individual should not trade in Company securities until that information has become public or is no longer material. 

Consequences for Violation 

Directors and employees who violate this Policy shall also be subject to disciplinary action by the Company, which may include ineligibility for future participation in the Company’s equity stock option and other incentive plans or termination of employment or service. 

Pursuant to U.S. federal and state securities laws, Insiders may be subject to criminal and civil fines and penalties as well as imprisonment for engaging in transactions in the Company’s securities at a time when they are in possession of material nonpublic information regarding the Company or its subsidiaries. In addition, Insiders may be liable for improper transactions by any person (commonly referred to as a “tippee”) to whom they have disclosed material nonpublic information regarding the Company or its subsidiaries or to whom they have made recommendations or expressed opinions on the basis of such information as to trading in the Company’s securities. 

Individual Responsibility 

Every executive officer, director and employee, consultant and contractor has the individual responsibility to comply with this Policy, and the applicable laws of their jurisdiction. An Insider may, from time to time, have to forego a proposed transaction in the Company’s securities even if he or she planned to make the transaction before learning of the material nonpublic information and even though the Insider believes he or she may suffer an economic loss or forego anticipated profit by waiting. Trading in the Company’s securities during the trading window (including with pre-clearance) should not be considered a “safe harbor,” and all directors, executive officers and other persons should use good judgment at all times. 

Compliance Officer 

● The Company’s Chief Legal Officer shall serve as the Insider Trading Compliance Officer (the “Compliance Officer”). The duties of the Compliance Officer shall include, but not be limited to, the following: 

● Pre-clearing transactions as required under this Policy. 

● Assisting, as requested, in the preparation and filing of Section 16 reports (Forms 3, 4 and 5) for Section 16 reporting persons. 

● Serving as the designated recipient at the Company of copies of reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Section 16 reporting persons under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. 

● Circulating the Policy (and/or a summary thereof) to all employees, including Section 16 reporting persons, on an annual basis. 

● Assisting the Company in implementation of the Policy. 

● Coordinating with Company counsel regarding compliance activities with respect to Rule 144 requirements and regarding changing requirements and recommendations for compliance with Section 16 of the Exchange Act and insider trading laws to ensure that the Policy is amended as necessary to comply with such requirements. 

The duties may be delegated by the Compliance Officer to such other individuals as the Compliance Officer deems appropriate.

Attachment 1 

Persons subject to trading window restrictions 

Insiders, as defined in the Company’s Insider Trading Policy, except for the following: 

● Employees, contractors and consultants who are employed or retained through a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company that is specifically and solely engaged in the production of original content and not otherwise included as a matter of business practice in the distribution of corporate information about the Company and its financial performance, unless such person has been notified in writing by the Compliance Officer that the trading window applies to them. 

● Employees of subsidiaries that are not integrated into the Company's email systems and/or who do not have access to consolidated financial data.

California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) Privacy Notice - Contingent Workers

This Privacy Notice applies to contingent workers (current and former) of Netflix whether retained directly or through a vendor or agency who are California residents (or in the case of former contingent workers, were at the time of their engagement with Netflix). Netflix provides you with this Privacy Notice to inform you of our personal information practices and does not create an employment relationship between us. 

Personal Information We Collect

We collect information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household (“CCPA personal information”). We have collected the following categories of CCPA personal information from consumers within the last twelve (12) months:

• Identifiers: “Identifiers” covers a broad range of information, including things like name, email address, postal address, telephone number, and IP address. We collect CCPA personal information that falls into this category. For example, we may collect name, email address, phone number and your postal address in the course of your engagement. We may collect personal information including your social security number, tax identification number, or similar tax IDs and may collect other forms of government issued IDs, such as your driver’s license or passport number. We may assign you a contingent worker ID and issue you a company email address, badge/fob, phone and/or devices, which may all have identifiers associated with them. We collect IP addresses or may set cookies when you connect to our systems. These sorts of identifiers may be associated with your contingent worker ID.  

• Characteristics of protected classifications under California or federal law: This covers a broad range of information like race, citizenship status, sex, gender identity, marital status, sexual orientation, military status or whether you are a veteran, religion, political affiliation, and whether you are a person with a disability, among other protected classes. When you may have applied as a contingent worker, when you onboarded, or during your engagement, you may provide or have provided information about such characteristics. 

• Internet or other electronic network activity information: When you are engaged at Netflix, many of our systems are online, so we collect CCPA personal information in this category, like when you access our tools or systems.

• Geolocation data: When you enter and exit Netflix facilities using your badge/fob or log into our systems we can determine your general location.  As noted above, we do collect IP addresses from which we can determine your general location. We may give you the option to allow us to collect precise geolocation data from GPS sensors (directly or through a service provider), in order to understand your location for safety and security purposes, including for alerts. 

• Audio, electronic, visual, thermal, olfactory or similar information: You may provide or we may capture photos, audio and/or video of you, for example for your badge or when you attend conference calls. When you are on Netflix facilities, your entry and exit from lobbies and other areas of our facilities may be monitored by CCTV. 

• Professional information: As part of your engagement, we collect CCPA personal information in this category, like information on your resume,  job title, contact information, skills and expertise (e.g. languages spoken), your start and end date, the projects you work on, your pay rate or supplier/agency bill rate, bank account information, emergency contact information, information required for the processing of background checks (where applicable), information needed to support travel (including but not limited to booking flights and hotels), information about your work permit or visa status, and information collected through the Netflix ethics hotline (for jurisdictions where the hotline is launched).

Uses of CCPA personal information
