This policy sets out how we use and protect any information about you that you give to us through your use of the Website. If you have any questions or comments in relation to this policy, contact our customer services department at svc.bada@samsung.com, before using the Website.
We may change this policy from time to time by updating this page. You are advised to check it from time to time in order to ensure that you are aware of any changes and that they are acceptable to you.
In general, you can view parts of the Website without giving us any information. On certain pages, we request information about you, for example, the registration pages. We are able to provide you with our full Website environment only if you have completed and submitted the information required for the registration process, and this information is accepted by us in accordance with our Website terms and conditions.
Some of the information that we collect is ‘Personal Data’. This means data that is related to you and identifies you. In this policy, we use the terms ‘Personal Data’, ‘information about you’, and ‘your information’ interchangeably.
We may use information about you for any of the following purposes:
All of the above apply equally to the use of information about you for such purposes by a Samsung Group Company.
We collect information about you using various methods, including:
We may combine information that we collect about you through this Website with information that you provide to us by other means, or that is provided to us by third parties. We may store that information together in a combined database or in separate databases.
We will not retain information about you for longer than is necessary for the purpose for which it was intended, or as required under any contract or by law (and we usually delete data once a user tells us that that he or she will no longer be using a service). We will not collect an excessive amount of information from you nor information that is not relevant to the purposes for which it collected .
We may automatically collect non-personally identifying technical information from you when you connect to this Website. An example is the domain name of another website from which you linked to this Website. We collect this information to help us identify people’s browsing preferences. The information is used for internal purposes only so that we can carry out research on your demographics, behavior and interests. Anonymous or generic information from which you cannot be personally identified is not Personal Data and is therefore outside the scope of this policy.
We do not disclose to any third parties Personal Data that relates to you without your consent, except:
You acknowledge that any information that you submit into any environment that is visible to others (such as My Application, Blog and Support) results in such information being published in a like manner. You must take common sense precautions with the information you provide in such environments and acknowledge that your information is published in such a way for others to see.
For any disclosure of your Personal Data by us to a carefully selected third party or to any third party on the above list, we will comply with data protection law by ensuring that there are arrangements in place to ensure that the third party does not use your Personal Data for any purpose other than purposes that we specify and in accordance with the purposes outlined in this policy, and keep it secure.
We will take all reasonable precautions to ensure that our staff and employees who have access to information about you have received adequate training to ensure that they process that information only in accordance with this policy and with our obligations under data protection law. We may take disciplinary action against our staff and employees in the event of non-compliance, should we consider this to be appropriate.
We may use your Personal Data to provide you with information about products, promotions, and other such information which we believe may be of interest to you, if you select to receive such information by email or post when you complete the registration process.
You can change your mind about your preferences regarding direct marketing by using the unsubscribe information in every such mailing or by updating your user profile. You can do this at any time. If you do so, we do not remove your Personal Data from our databases but we do note your changed preferences as soon as reasonably possible.
Under certain data protection laws, you may have the right to request details of Personal Data that we hold about you. If we are permitted by law, we may charge you a small fee.
