## Short answer

Yes, a Roku TV on Roku OS models uses ACR, called "Use info from TV inputs". To turn it off: Press the Home button on the remote, then open Settings, then open Privacy, then open Smart TV experience, then highlight "Use info from TV inputs" and press OK to clear the check box.
Roku sticks and boxes do not use ACR to track what is on screen.
