Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Without opting out, Samsung may share your personal information — including browsing behavior, device usage, and viewing habits — with advertising partners for targeted marketing, which is the default behavior.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

By default, Samsung shares your personal data with advertising and analytics partners; California residents and all US users can opt out of this sharing, but must take affirmative action to do so through the Privacy Preference Center at samsung.com/us/account/privacy-policy.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision is mandated by CCPA §1798.120 and amended by CPRA (effective Jan. 1, 2023), which grants consumers the right to opt out of the 'sale' and 'sharing' (defined broadly to include cross-context behavioral advertising) of personal information. The California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) has rulemaking authority (Cal. Civ. Code §1798.185) and the California AG has enforcement authority with civil penalties up to $7,500 per intentional violation. The FTC Act Section 5 applies to misrepresentations about data sharing practices.
