Was about to use samsung internet browser as Firefoxes add ons where making my phone super slow. On the setup page I never really do this but I guess was just bored and curious but I tapped on the terms and conditions. Then looked at the privacy policy cause of hearing about samsungs new policies and them spying on their users. First thing in the list was they collect all your browser history and data. I got nothing to hide but I also don't like the fact their looking at my searches and queries and most likely selling my personal info to third parties. To think a stock app that comes with a overlypriced phone and being literal Spyware is very concerning. Any one else don't like the fact were constantly being spied on in every single samsung software that you use. Could explain why I get so many **bleep**g spam calls all the time from random things I've never even heard of. @samsung care to input on why no user has any sort of privacy. Even if u were to use stealth mode im sure it's logged by samsung. I'll just keep using my phone without any of their services I guess and just switch phone companies soon. Really don't like how creepy it is to think everything u search or do even if it's very personal things in your life is just being viewed by people you don't know on thier computers. Gross
There's no app that doesn't collect and sell your data, no matter the brand of phone.
User data is the most profitable product in existence.
Even companies that claim they don't, do. Not like you'd know. Granted they go through different hoops, basically lumping your data into different metrics (male/female, age, race, or users that looked/browsing/bought also...) so it's not technically selling your data as you, but a group of shared data.
Even VPN companies do this, all while spouting off about "keeping you private and secure".
Your right but most companies arent as intrusive as samsung is. no company that i kno of other then samsung automatically logs all your search history and give u no choice about it. google when u set it up you can opt out of all the intrusive spy setting inbedded within logging if you want samsung dont give u that option and if u do wanna go through what data they have of you its the most drawn out waste of time process. Also with my vpn and special browser i have a company i placed an order with had no **bleep**in clue who i am or what i ordered or literally anything on the browser app companies do spew the we dont do this and that **bleep** but if your smart its very easy to check and see if any of your activity is getting logged. I mean even google isnt as bad as samsung is in terms of spying on you granted you have to turn different setting off and stuff with google but still
Google still collects all that you do across their services. Opting out is really just about third party ads, and keeping snooping eyes at home from seeing things. However ad agencies still get some content as they have their own trackers built in.
There's also a lot of articles about incognito and how it's basically no better than normal. It forgets what you do on that device, that's about it. So equivalent to clearing history. You still have a unique tracing ID.
There's a ton of "privacy" browsers, they all are marketing lies. People even think TOR, is private but that's a US military created surveillance browser/network.
Privacy has been dead for ages. Our data is the most valuable resource in existence. Nobody is going to pass up that payday.
Us gov also pays for user data from iTunes, play, and other app markets. I'm not sure if anyone can buy that data but read about the government doing so.
I'm with you on privacy. Or at least pay me, the one you're taking data from.
