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. Use the
following measures to help you protect your personal information:
•
Put your device in a safe place to prevent unauthorised use.
•
Set your device screen to lock and set a password or unlock pattern.
•
Periodically back up personal information stored on your memory card or your device
memory. If you change to a different device, be sure to move or delete any personal
information on your old device.
•
Do not open messages or emails from strangers to prevent your device from
becoming infected with a virus.
•
When using your device to browse the Internet, do not visit websites that might pose
a security risk to avoid your personal information from being stolen.
•
If you use services such as the portable Wi-Fi hotspot or Bluetooth, set passwords for
these services to prevent unauthorised access. Turn these services off when they are
not in use.
•
Install 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 authorised third-party
application providers.
•
Using unauthorised third-party software to update your device may damage your
device or put your personal information at risk. It is recommended that you update
through your device's online update feature or download official update packages
for your device model from Huawei.
•
Some applications require and transmit location information. As a result, a third-party
may be able to share your location information.
