On television’s featuring our Interactive TV Services, our application is disabled by default. It is only enabled and starts processing your data if you make the choice to enable it.
Samba TV ensures you never lose control of your data. You can update your choices regarding our Interactive TV Services and the data Samba processes at any time through the privacy menu in the settings of your television.
For example, you can disassociate all the content viewing and marketing information related to your TV by resetting your ad ID. With the Ad Personalization control, you have the ability to decline or “opt out” of receiving personalized ads based on your content viewing information while still enjoying the personalization features of our Interactive TV Services. Please note that on some of the televisions featuring our services the Ad Personalization feature may be called Limit Ad Tracking. However, they both function the same: enabling Limit Ad Tracking or disabling Ad Personalization allows you to opt out of targeted advertising based on the viewership information Samba TV collects from your device.
Indeed, based on the make and model of your television, the names of the controls may be different as Samba TV is always working to improve our privacy features. So please review your television’s privacy menu and read the descriptions to understand the controls we offer on your device. And, we encourage you to reach out to us at privacy@samba.tv with any questions.
Regardless of the specifics of your television, you always remain in control over your data and what you allow us to collect, process, and share.
Samba TV Mobile also provides you the option of disabling the service at any time after it’s been enabled. And, of course, you have similar controls regarding resetting ad IDs and limiting ad tracking on your Android and iOS mobile devices.
To learn more about how you may control your data, please review our Privacy Policy.
