Start here

If you own a Samsung television and want the short answer, it is on what you can refuse: for each kind of collection — what you watch, what you say, the adverts you are shown, who it is shared with, where you are — whether Samsung's own documents say you can decline, say you must accept, or don't say at all. Every answer there quotes the sentence it came from. Everything below this is the evidence behind it.

02

What you accept

Words in each of Samsung's agreement documents, from the latest captured version. Together: 14,425 words, 72 minutes read aloud at 200 words a minute. 1 address serving byte-identical text was counted once.

5 captured pages not counted, and why

These are held in the archive exactly like every other capture — readable, downloadable, diffed. They are left out of the figure above because they are not documents a Samsung television owner is held to. Each is still linked, so the arithmetic can be checked rather than trusted.

DocumentWordsNot counted because
Samsung — Samsung Ads privacy notice 4,413 Byte-identical to a document already counted at another address.
Samsung — Your privacy rights 1,266 Almost word-for-word the same as a document already counted at another address.
Samsung support — Viewing Information Services (ACR) controls 774 Nothing in the text identifies it as terms, a policy or a notice.
Samsung — Consumer health data privacy statement 595 Nothing in the text identifies it as terms, a policy or a notice.
Samsung account — membership privacy policy 2 Too short to be the document — fewer than 100 words captured.

Named in Samsung's own agreements: Adobe Analytics, Google. Each of these appears by name in the text of a document you accept.

The consent dial: words, by document

6 agreement documents counted of 11 watched · one full turn is 1.7 h read aloud at 200 wpm

Segments run clockwise from the top in the order of the list, largest first; point at either to match them. The rim is marked every quarter hour of reading aloud.

Capture history

505 versions

Every reading of every Samsung document on one time axis. Each cell is a period of the axis, lit by the most serious thing a capture found in it; the fine marks inside are the captures themselves, at the moment they happened. A dim cell is a period with no capture. A hatched cell is a page we asked for and were not given. A document that has never returned a readable page has a row with nothing lit: the archive is watching it, and holds nothing yet.

The Pitch

what they sell 30 see all →

What the company tells advertisers it can do with the data you agreed to hand over. Written to persuade buyers, so it is usually far plainer than the policy.
