I got a phone recently. I expected the Samsung to be more dense, but was nonetheless surprised by some of their sneaky tactics.
For one, part of the back of my Samsung phone case box says:
> IMPORTANT INFORMATION: If you open the package, use or retain the device, you accept Samsung's Terms and Conditions, including an Arbitration Agreement.

Wow.

The Privacy Policy also contains some problems (surprise) e.g. they may automatically collect app usage information. I think a different legal document says that if I enable Find My Mobile they get access to my texts and calls.

I'm trying to not trigger any of these privacy problems as I go along. I think I have done OK so far.

Also, the Privacy Policy has a way to opt-out of some things. It provides an email address to request opting out by; I think I'm going to try it and see what happens.
