We pick up our mobile devices<\/a> hundreds of times each day. We rely on them to such an extent that we rarely leave the house without them. They\u2019re an extension of us, and explosive new technologies like generative AI<\/a> bring exciting opportunities to your device \u2014 or rather enable you <\/em>to do exciting new things.<\/p>\n

But while technology changes, your right to privacy doesn\u2019t. New developments mean new ways of data processing, and at Samsung, we think you should have the full picture when it comes to your personal information. We believe transparency, choice, and control must be at the core of the mobile experience.<\/p>\n

In this highly digitized world, your security and privacy are more important than ever, so it’s only right that our users have full control over their devices. That\u2019s why we focus on providing solutions<\/a> that allow you to have complete controllability and total empowerment over how your data is used.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\n\t\t\"EPP\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n
Security & Privacy Dashboard:<\/h5>\n

This belief is the cornerstone of our Security & Privacy Dashboard<\/a>. The Dashboard enables you to have complete control over your data, including who sees it and how it gets used. In one simple and easy-to-use interface, you can view, create, and update your app permissions, as well as your controls and data-sharing features \u2014\u00a0enabling you to call the shots on your data and customize your experience, your way.<\/p>\n

The Dashboard also allows you to see any data that may be at risk, intuitively showing you the status of security items.<\/p>\n

\n\"Samsung
\nFrom there, you can quickly and easily change your settings to manage potential dangers at the touch of a button. Items are prioritized based on which functions could have the most significant impact on your online safety \u2014 such as lock screen, account security, lost device protection via Find My Mobile, app security, and updates. These are instantly accessible at the top of the dashboard, with intuitive red, yellow, or green alerts, showing any problems at a glance and providing clear indicators of any security issues.<\/p>\n

Of course, we also do the work for you. Apps can continue tracking data for months, even when they are not in use \u2014 but Galaxy devices proactively remove permissions from apps that have not been used in a while.<\/p>\n

Permissions can be reinstated in the Dashboard at any time through Permission Manager and Permission Usage. Permission Manager<\/strong> easily shows you which apps can access your data \u2014 whether it\u2019s your location, camera, or microphone and in what context (for example, if it\u2019s only when using the app). Permission Usage<\/strong> provides an easy way for you to see specifically which apps recently used permissions in the last 24 hours or seven days. And, to make things even easier, we also provide instant action prompts through the Dashboard to help make data decisions more intuitive and transparent.<\/p>\n

It’s simple to access your Security & Privacy Dashboard. Just go to Settings and select Security & Privacy, and then review and adjust permissions as you see fit.<\/p>\n

You can also customize features to further enhance your device\u2019s privacy with the Clipboard Access<\/strong> toggle. Turning this setting on (by going to Settings, then Privacy, and looking for the toggle \u201cAlert when clipboard accessed\u201d) means that any time an app pastes something from your clipboard, you\u2019ll get a notification. Eliminating hidden activity.<\/p>\n

It’s never been easier to see and understand your data privacy with Galaxy. We put the control in your hands.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Find My Mobile \/ Samsung Find:<\/h5>\n

It’s one of life\u2019s inevitabilities \u2014 at some point, we all misplace our phones. But with Find My Mobile<\/a> and Samsung Find, you no longer need to worry about your device\u2019s personal information getting into the wrong hands.<\/p>\n

Once Find My Mobile is enabled, Samsung Find allows you to locate, lock, and even erase your device\u2019s data to create an access lockdown. You can find your device even if it\u2019s not connected to a mobile network, as long as it\u2019s turned on. And through Samsung Find, you can also track down your Galaxy Buds<\/a>, tablets<\/a>, watches<\/a>, and other devices.<\/p>\n

The additional options available make it easier than ever to find your devices. Users can invite family members or friends in the Samsung Find app to view the location or activate ringing noises to help track down shared devices. To give yourself the best chance of locating lost devices with Samsung Find, you can extend the battery life by remotely turning on power saving mode.<\/p>\n

\nWith Galaxy, you\u2019re empowered to stay in complete control of your device \u2014 even when it\u2019s not physically with you.<\/p>\n

Advanced Intelligence settings:<\/h5>\n

As an industry-leading global manufacturer, Samsung is focused on enhancing the device experience through dedicated AI features<\/a>1<\/a><\/sup> while prioritizing privacy in the era of AI. Many of our Galaxy AI features use on-device data processing, which means sensitive information stays with you, and you alone. For those features that do require processing in the cloud or external servers, we make sure your data is protected with strict policies.2<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

In a world of AI-enhanced experiences, we know not everyone wants to use cloud-based AI. For some, keeping data on-device is a priority. So, while innovation is important to us, we believe it\u2019s just as important that we continue to empower our users to control their own experience.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
