This is Samsung's US privacy policy, covering how personal data is collected and used across Samsung devices, apps, smart home services, Samsung Account, Samsung Pay, Samsung Health, and the Samsung website. The policy discloses that Samsung collects and may share biometric data, precise geolocation, voice and audio recordings, health and fitness data, financial information, and device identifiers with service providers, advertising partners, and analytics partners. California residents, and residents of several other states, have specific rights including the right to know, delete, and opt out of certain data sharing under state privacy laws.
This document is Samsung Electronics America's US-facing privacy policy, governing the collection, use, and sharing of personal information across Samsung's websites, devices, apps, SmartThings ecosystem, Samsung Account, Samsung Pay, Samsung Health, and related services. The policy states that Samsung collects identifiers, device and network information, location data, financial and payment information, biometric data, health and fitness data, voice and audio data, commercial and transaction information, inferences, and usage data, and that the terms authorize sharing this information with service providers, business partners, advertising and analytics partners, and affiliates. The policy discloses collection of biometric identifiers and health data, including voice recordings and precise geolocation, across a broad and integrated device and services ecosystem, which creates heightened sensitivity given California BIPA-equivalent provisions under CCPA and federal health data considerations. The policy references compliance with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), and references to Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and other US state privacy frameworks, as well as cross-border data transfer mechanisms for international users; the practical scope of these rights depends on the user's state of residence and the specific Samsung service used. Material compliance considerations include whether consent mechanisms, opt-out pathways, and data retention practices meet the specificity requirements of applicable state privacy laws, particularly given the breadth of data categories and the integrated nature of Samsung's product and service ecosystem.
