If you own a Google TV / Android TV television and want the short answer, it is on what you can refuse: for each kind of collection — what you watch, what you say, the adverts you are shown, who it is shared with, where you are — whether Google TV / Android TV's own documents say you can decline, say you must accept, or don't say at all. Every answer there quotes the sentence it came from. Everything below this is the evidence behind it.
What you accept
Words in each of Google TV / Android TV's agreement documents, from the latest captured version. Together: 10,245 words, 51 minutes read aloud at 200 words a minute.
1 captured page not counted, and why
These are held in the archive exactly like every other capture — readable, downloadable, diffed. They are left out of the figure above because they are not documents a Google TV / Android TV television owner is held to. Each is still linked, so the arithmetic can be checked rather than trusted.
| Document | Words | Not counted because |
|---|---|---|
| Google privacy policy | 10,437 | Almost word-for-word the same as a document already counted at another address. |
Named in Google TV / Android TV's own agreements: Google. Each of these appears by name in the text of a document you accept.
The consent dial: words, by document

Segments run clockwise from the top in the order of the list, largest first; point at either to match them. The rim is marked every quarter hour of reading aloud.
Capture history
67 versionsEvery reading of every Google TV / Android TV document on one time axis. Each cell is a period of the axis, lit by the most serious thing a capture found in it; the fine marks inside are the captures themselves, at the moment they happened. A dim cell is a period with no capture. A hatched cell is a page we asked for and were not given. A document that has never returned a readable page has a row with nothing lit: the archive is watching it, and holds nothing yet.

The documents you have to accept to use the television - terms, privacy policies, ACR and voice notices. These are what you are legally held to, and the ones most likely to be quietly edited.

What the company tells advertisers it can do with the data you agreed to hand over. Written to persuade buyers, so it is usually far plainer than the policy.
