The updated policy expands Samsung's data collection authority to include device registration, verification for repairs, and configuration of device settings. The terms now explicitly state that Samsung may collect card and transaction information if you apply for a Samsung-branded payment card. Samsung clarified that it will only send personalized marketing when you have provided consent, where required by law. The policy removed its previous statement that defective devices are wiped of personal information before analysis; the updated terms now state Samsung will analyze returned defective devices without that explicit pre-analysis data deletion commitment. For US residents, the policy now discloses rights to opt out of sale of personal information, sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising, targeted advertising processing, sensitive data collection or processing, and to request lists of third parties receiving your information.
