I was updating my Samsung Magician software when this prompt came up... Is this for data collection? I'm gonna go out on a limb and say yes... i DO in fact live in a GDPR country.
I find it worrying that a hard drive potentially collects data.
That's kind of its point, isn't it?
To collect data and send it to a third party, hence needing to know if you are protected by GDPR is not what a hard drive is for, no.
rofl thanks, nice laugh for a Monday
The hard drive isn't, but the Samsung software they are choosing to use for some reason will be.
It's the software that comes with the SSD. Not the hard drive itself, to be fair.
A fair point. Still close enough to be worrisome. Also that software potentially updates the drive's drivers and/or firmware.
GDPR and Brazil have better data protection laws, so if you click yes you'll be accepting terms that limit the data they collect, as per those laws.
Technically you shouldn't, because you have no grounds to form a contract in those countries if you don't live there. However, technically terms and conditions are a load of bollocks that companies use to get away with things they shouldn't.
Oops you mis clicked
EU or Brazil?
Yes.
Might not be data, otherwise it would include California as well
America isn't that strict with its Data Privacy if I'm not wrong...
Not America, just California. CCPA
