Samba TV may share your personal data with other affiliates in the Samba Group, our service providers, and trusted clients. These parties may be located in your home country as well as abroad. Your personal data may therefore be subject to privacy laws that are different from those in your country of residence. We, however, ensure that your data is protected, at minimum, in accordance with the legal standards of your country of residence. Personal data collected within the European Union (“EU”), Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, may, for example, be transferred to and processed by Samba TV or third parties located in a country outside of those jurisdictions.

For Australian residents, Samba TV may share your data with MiQ Digital Australia Pty Ltd. ## How can I control the processing of my personal data on my Samba TV device? On television’s featuring our Interactive TV Services, our application is disabled by default. It is only enabled and starts processing your data if you make the choice to enable it. Samba TV ensures you never lose control of your data. You can update your choices regarding our Interactive TV Services and the data Samba processes at any time through the privacy menu in the settings of your television. For example, you can disassociate all the content viewing and marketing information related to your TV by resetting your ad ID. With the Ad Personalization control, you have the ability to decline or “opt out” of receiving personalized ads based on your content viewing information while still enjoying the personalization features of our Interactive TV Services. Please note that on some of the televisions featuring our services the Ad Personalization feature may be called Limit Ad Tracking. However, they both function the same: enabling Limit Ad Tracking or disabling Ad Personalization allows you to opt out of targeted advertising based on the viewership information Samba TV collects from your device. Indeed, based on the make and model of your television, the names of the controls may be different as Samba TV is always working to improve our privacy features. So please review your television’s privacy menu and read the descriptions to understand the controls we offer on your device. And, we encourage you to reach out to us at privacy@samba.tv with any questions. Regardless of the specifics of your television, you always remain in control over your data and what you allow us to collect, process, and share. Samba TV Mobile also provides you the option of disabling the service at any time after it’s been enabled. And, of course, you have similar controls regarding resetting ad IDs and limiting ad tracking on your Android and iOS mobile devices. To learn more about how you may control your data, please review our Privacy Policy. ## How do I exercise my privacy rights? Samba TV supports all the rights extended to consumers in the jurisdictions in which we operate. As available and except as limited under applicable law, Samba TV provides you the means to exercise the rights described below: OPTING OUT & OBJECTING: You may object to our collection of your data, the processing of your data, the sale of your data, direct marketing, as well as automated decision-making based on your personal data.

MANAGING YOUR DATA: You may access your personal data, have us restrict our processing of it, have it ported to another party, as well as have it corrected or deleted. Please note that Samba TV does not in any way discriminate against consumers who exercise their privacy rights. For example, Samba TV does not charge you more for services, deny you services, or offer services of lesser quality merely because you choose to exercise your privacy rights. If for any reason, Samba TV declines to process your privacy request, you will be provided notice and an opportunity to appeal that decision to our Legal Department. You will be able to do so through the email ticket associated with your request. Our Legal Department will provide you with a decision within 30 days through the same email ticket and inform you of any rights you may have to challenge that decision.
