Personal Information and Data Security
The use of some functions or third-party applications on your device
could result in your personal information and data being lost or
becoming accessible to others. Several measures are recommended
to help you protect personal and confidential information.
•
Place your device in a safe area to prevent it from unauthorized
use.
•
Set your device screen to lock and create a password or unlock
pattern to open it.
•
Periodically back up personal information kept on your SIM
card, memory card, or stored in your device memory. If you
change to a different device, be sure to move or delete any
personal information on your old device.
•
If you are worried about viruses when you receive messages or
emails from a stranger, you can delete them without opening
them.
•
If you use your device to browse the Internet, avoid websites
that might pose a security risk to avoid theft of your personal
information.
•
If you use services such as Wi-Fi tethering or Bluetooth, set
passwords for these services to prevent unauthorized access.
When these services are not in use, turn them off.
•
Install or upgrade device security software and regularly scan
for viruses.
•
Be sure to obtain third-party applications from a legitimate
source. Downloaded third-party applications should be
scanned for viruses.
•
Install security software or patches released by Huawei or third-
party application providers.
•
Some applications require and transmit location information. As
a result, a third-party may be able to share your location
information.
•
Your device may provide detection and diagnostic information
to third-party application providers. Third party vendors use this
information to improve their products and services.
