This page describes what the document states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
Samsung's privacy policy describes what data Samsung collects about you — including your device identifiers, location signals, and voice recordings — and how it uses that data to deliver advertising on Samsung and third-party platforms. It also discloses that your personal information may be used to train Samsung's AI systems, and acknowledges that sharing data with ad services may count as 'selling' your data under some privacy laws. U.S. users may have the right to opt out of that sale or sharing, depending on the laws of their state.
This document establishes Samsung's collection, use, sharing, and retention practices for personal information across its Services and participating third-party platforms. Samsung collects an extensive range of device identifiers (including IMEI, MAC address, IP address, serial number, and advertising ID), approximate location data via Wi-Fi and cell towers without additional consent, precise geolocation with separate consent, and voice recordings from both voice-command use and Customer Service interactions. Samsung uses this personal information for personalized and generalized advertising and direct marketing across its own Services, third-party websites, and social media platforms, and may additionally use personal information of U.S. residents to develop and train AI algorithms and models. The document acknowledges that sharing personal information with ad services may constitute a 'sale' or 'targeted advertising' use under certain privacy laws, provides U.S. users a conditional right to opt out of such sale or sharing, and grants users the right to receive their collected data in a structured, machine-readable format.
As an individual user, your device identifiers, approximate location, voice recordings, and usage data are collected by Samsung across its own Services and third-party platforms participating in its ad networks, and may be used to train Samsung's AI systems in addition to delivering targeted advertising. Samsung acknowledges it cannot guarantee the security of your data. If you are a U.S. resident, you may submit a request to Samsung to opt out of the sale of your personal information and the sharing of your information for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes, subject to the privacy laws applicable in your state.
