Samsung updated its Privacy Policy on May 19, 2026 to reflect regional availability. The policy previously listed 'Singapore / English' as a language and location option; it now lists 'India / English' instead. Additionally, the policy revised the phrasing of an email verification prompt from 'Double check the address...just to make sure!' to 'Please double check your email address.' These changes appear to be geographic expansion and interface text refinement with no material change to Samsung's data practices or consumer rights.

The updated Privacy Policy reflects Samsung's regional availability by substituting India for Singapore as a language and location option in the policy interface. The email verification prompt text has been clarified from informal language to standard phrasing. These changes do not modify Samsung's data collection, processing, retention, or sharing practices, nor do they alter consumer rights or obligations under the policy.
