13. WHAT THIRD-PARTY SERVICES DO WE USE?
Some of the content, advertising, and functionality in our Services (i.e.,
online payments, upgrades of devices, Samsung Care Plus) is provided by various
third parties. These third parties may use cookies, beacons, tracking pixels,
and other tools to collect information about your use of the Services. These
third parties are not controlled directly by Samsung Electronics, so we
recommend that you check their privacy policies to understand how they use your
data, provide services and what your rights are in this regard.
For some apps and services, including social networks, we receive and store
sign-in information, as well as other information that you allow us to receive
when you connect with these apps and services.
14. COOKIES, BEACONS, AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES
We, as well as certain various third parties that provide content, advertising,
or other functionality in our Services, use cookies, pixels, beacons, and other
technologies in certain areas of our Services.
Cookies
Cookies are small files that store information on your computer, TV, mobile
phone, or other device. They enable the entity that put the cookie on your
device to recognize you across different websites, services, devices, and
browsing sessions. Cookies serve many useful purposes. For example:
• Cookies can remember your sign-in credentials, so you don’t have to enter
those credentials each time you sign into a service.
• Cookies help us and third parties understand which parts of our Services are
the most popular because they help us to see which pages and features visitors
are accessing and how much time they’re spending on the pages. Studying this
information helps us to adapt the Services and provide you with a better
experience.
• Cookies help us and third parties understand which ads you’ve seen so you
don’t get the same ad each time you access a Service.
• Cookies help us and third parties to provide you with relevant content and
advertising by collecting information about your use of our Services and other
websites and apps.
When you use a web browser to access Services, you can configure your browser to
accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or notify you when a cookie is sent.
Each browser is different, so check the help menu of your browser to learn how
to change your cookie preferences. Your device operating system may contain
additional cookie controls. Note that some Services are designed to work using
cookies, so disabling cookies may affect your ability to use those Services or
certain parts of them.
We use the following types of cookies on our website:
Essential Cookies
These enable you to order products and receive services from our website;
Performance Cookies
Theses enable us to analyse the performance and design of our website and detect
errors. For example, this type of cookie allows us to recognise that you have
visited our website before and shows which sections of our website are most
popular by allowing us to see which pages visitors access most frequently and
how much time visitors spend on each page. We use, without limitation, Google
Analytics, Adobe, and similar analytics cookies to achieve this. For example,
the information generated by the cookie about the use of the website will
normally be stored on a Google Analytics server in the United States of America.
However, if you are located within the European Union or the European Economic
Area, your IP address will be shortened by Google Analytics beforehand. In
exceptional cases only, your full address will be transmitted to a Google
Analytics server in the United States of America and shortened there. On our
behalf, Google Analytics will use this information for the purpose of compiling
reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website
activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted from your browser as
part of Google Analytics will not be associated with any other data held by
Google Analytics. You may prevent web usage data (including your IP address)
generated by the cookie from being transmitted to Google Analytics and processed
there if you download and install this Browser-Plugin
(http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en).
Functional Cookies
Allow us to deliver a better user experience. For example, this type of cookie
ensures that the information displayed on your next visit to our website will
match up with your user preferences, or your Samsung account from which you
linked to our website, or the fact that you linked to our website via an email
sent to you by Samsung Electronics or one of our trusted third party service
providers contacting you on our behalf.
Advertising Cookies
Enable us and our carefully selected partners to deliver advertisements to you,
or contact you directly where you have separately consented to such
communications, which match your interests by, for example, collecting
information about products you have browsed or ordered on our website. For
example, and without limitation, we use Google Analytics remarketing tags to
allow our retail partners to advertise products which you have browsed on our
website. For further information about how Google Analytics remarketing tags
work, please click here:
http://www.google.co.uk/think/products/newremarketing-tag.html. Our website may
also display content from a third party website or service, which may result in
cookies from third parties being stored on your hard drive or browser. We do not
control the storage of these cookies and you should refer to the privacy
policies of the relevant third party for more information.
Other Local Storage
We, along with certain third parties, may use other kinds of local storage
technologies, such as Local Shared Objects (also referred to as flash cookies)
and HTML5 local storage, in connection with our Services. These technologies are
similar to the cookies discussed above. They’re stored on your devices and can
be used to store certain information about your activities and preferences.
However, these technologies may make use of different parts of your devices from
standard cookies, so you might not be able to control them using standard
browser tools and settings. For information about disabling or deleting
information contained in Local Shared Objects, visit
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/disable-local-shared-objects-flash.html.
Beacons and/or Pixels
We, along with certain third parties, may use technologies called beacons or
pixels that communicate information from your device to a server. Beacons can be
embedded in online content, videos, and emails, and can allow a server to read
certain types of information from your device, know when you’ve viewed
particular content or a particular email message, and determine the time and
date on which you viewed the beacon and the IP address of your device. We and
certain third parties use beacons for a variety of purposes, including to
analyze the use of our Services and, along with cookies, to provide content and
ads that are more relevant to you.
When you access and use our Services (except for websites provided by third
party service providers), you will be asked to provide your separate consent to
the storage of cookies (which includes other local storage technologies,
beacons, pixels and other information on your devices) by us. You will also be
asked to provide your separate consent to the access of such cookies (which
includes local storage technologies, beacons, pixels and information) by us and
by the third parties mentioned above. Your experience of our website/services
may be affected if you do not accept cookies, and further information will be
provided to you at the time we ask you for this specific consent.

17. SAMSUNG SMART TV
The statements highlighted under the Samsung Smart TV Services must be read in
conjunction with the overall Samsung Privacy Policy.
Samsung’s Smart TV service offers a set of features that provide enhanced video
content, customized TV experiences, movies, connections to social networking
services, and the ability to control and interact with your Smart TV with voice
commands. We collect, use, share, and store information through your Smart TV
and the devices connected with your Smart TV in the ways described in this
Privacy Policy. This section provides additional details about the privacy
practices of some Smart TV features.
The Smart TV is designed to enable you to easily find and access video
programming and other content. For example, you may access information about
live television programmes distributed to you by your cable or satellite
operator and on-demand video content offerings distributed by third party
content providers through searchable guides displayed on your Smart TV.
In the case of live television programmes, we determine what content is
available to you based in part on your postcode (if applicable). In addition,
the Smart TV helps you find and experience other Smart TV content more relevant
to you by highlighting programming and content that is likely to interest you or
providing additional services that will enhance your viewing experience. We base
these recommendations and additional services on:
• Information about content that you have watched, purchased, downloaded, or
streamed through Samsung applications on your Smart TV or other devices (about
the TV viewing information please see ‘Viewing Information Services’ section
below);
• Information about applications you have accessed through the Smart TV;
• Information about your clicks on the “Like”, “Dislike”, “Watch Now”, and other
buttons on your Smart TV;
• The query terms you enter into Smart TV search features, including when you
search for particular video content;
• Other Smart TV usage and device information, including, but not limited to, IP
address, log data, information that identifies your hardware or software
configuration, browser information, and the page(s) you request.
Viewing Information Services
This Privacy Policy also applies to your receipt of customized Smart TV
experiences
In order to provide you with customized Smart TV experiences, some of our
features and services will rely on your TV viewing history and Smart TV usage
information.
Your TV viewing history includes information about the networks, channels,
websites visited, and programmes viewed on your Smart TV and the amount of time
spent viewing them.
We may use automatic content recognition ("ACR") and other technologies to
capture this information. Your Smart TV transfers video snippets or TV tuner
information in order to determine the programmes watched.
You may change your privacy choice at any time by going to the settings menu to
disable the particular feature or service at your sole discretion, in which case
your TV viewing history will cease to be collected for that particular feature
or service.
Your use of our Services will involve the transfer, storage, and processing of
your Personal Information outside of South Africa to South Korea, consistent
with this Privacy Policy. In addition, your use of the Services may also involve
the transfer, storage, and processing of your Personal Information to other
countries; such countries include, without limitation, countries in the European
Economic Area, the United States of America, China, Singapore, Vietnam, India,
Canada, the Philippines, South Korea, United Arab Emirates and Japan. Please
note that the data protection and other laws of countries outside the European
Economic Area to which your information may be transferred might not be as
comprehensive as those in your country. We will take appropriate measures, in
compliance with all applicable laws, to ensure that your Personal Information
remains protected. To request more information or to obtain a copy of the
contractual agreements in place, contact us. See the CONTACT US section.
Bear in mind that your privacy choice may affect the availability or quality of
the specific viewing information based service.
Interest-Based Advertisement Services
The Interest-Based Advertisement Services (the “IBA Services”) is designed to
provide the ability to obtain and view useful, interactive, and interest based
advertisements about products and services offered by Samsung and third parties
on your Samsung Smart TV or across various Samsung and third party platforms or
devices, including linear commercials, on the web, mobile devices and tablets.
In order to make the advertising on your devices more relevant to you, the IBA
Service will rely on your TV viewing history (including information about the
networks, channels, websites visited, and programs viewed on your Samsung Smart
TV and the amount of time spent viewing them), Samsung Smart TV usage
information, and other statistical data obtained from trusted third party data
sources. We may use ACR and other technologies to capture your TV viewing
history.
Based on the information above we create groups of Samsung Smart TV owners who
share similar interests and use these groups for the IBA Service. The
information above is used to determine the groups to which your Samsung Smart TV
is assigned and thus, which advertisements your devices receive.
You may disable the IBA Service at any time by visiting the Settings menu on
your Samsung Smart TV.
Please note that your privacy choice with respect to the IBA Service will not
affect whether or not you receive or are served with other types of ads and
marketing that are not specifically based on TV viewing history or Samsung Smart
TV usage information. Those other types of ads and marketing will be based on
other information such as generalized location and other estimated or inferred
information. They might be less relevant because they are not based on your
interests.
For more detailed information about the IBA Services, please refer to the
Interest-Based Advertisement Services section set out below.
Personalized Service ID
Your Smart TV viewing history and usage information collected for the purposes
of providing interest based advertisements will be linked to a randomized,
non-persistent, and resettable device identifier called the Personalized Service
ID or “PSID”.
You may reset your PSID at any time by visiting the Settings menu on your Smart
TV and once reset, your Smart TV viewing history and Smart TV usage information
with respect to interest based advertisements will be de-linked from its
previous PSID. Bear in mind that if you reset your PSID, the quality of
customized and interest based advertisements may not be fine-tuned.
Voice Recognition
You can control your Smart TV, and use many of its features, with voice
commands.
If you enable Voice Recognition, you can interact with your Smart TV using your
voice. To provide the Voice Recognition feature, your voice commands will be
transmitted (along with information about your device, including device
identifiers) to us and we will convert your voice commands into text to provide
the Voice Recognition features. In addition, Samsung Electronics may collect
voice commands and associated texts so that we can evaluate and improve the
features. Samsung will collect your voice commands when you make a specific
request to the Smart TV by clicking the activation button either on the remote
control or on your screen or by speaking a wake word (e.g., “Hi, Bixby”) and
speaking into the microphone on the remote control or Smart TV.
If you do not enable Voice Recognition, you will not be able to use the voice
recognition features.
You may disable Voice Recognition data collection at any time by visiting the
Settings menu. However, this would prevent you from using the Voice Recognition
features.
For more detailed information about the Voice Recognition, please refer to the
Voice Recognition section as set out below.
Third Parties
Please note that when you watch a video or access applications or content
provided by a third party, that provider may collect or receive information
about your Smart TV (e.g., its IP address and device identifiers), the requested
transaction (e.g. your request to buy or rent the video), and your use of the
application or service. Samsung Electronics is not responsible for these
providers’ privacy or security practices. You should exercise caution and review
the privacy statements applicable to the third party websites and services you
use.
Country-Specific Features
Please note that one or more of the features described in this Smart TV
Supplement may not be available to you depending on where you live.
