Our Privacy Policy – which can be viewed at https://account.samsung.com/membership/terms/privacypolicy - also applies to your use of your Galaxy Wearable. Our Privacy Policy contains more information about how we use your data. It also includes information about how to contact us. Please read our Privacy Policy in addition to this Privacy Notice.
