Every ISP would say «No» to that question. In sane juridstictions only
law enforcement has any chance of getting that answer (hopefully only if
they have a valid mandate from some kind of court).

But Netflix shouldn't have any need to ask in the first place. Their
customers need to log in to their own personal accounts in order to
access any content, when they do Netflix can discover their addresses.
