Your
device !=
your data

12. YOUR OPTIONS  DoNotTrack.us * - sends signal that
indicates opt-out preference
 Disconnect.me – use of icons to make it
obvious the kinds of data and data
sharing
 Opennotice.org – minimal viable consent
receipt, which creates a repository of
your consent
* “Samsung currently does not take action in response to these
signals, but, if and when a standard is established and accepted,
we may reassess how to respond to these signals.”
