GPS & AGPS
Certain Samsung Mobile Devices can use a Global
Positioning System (GPS) signal for location-
based applications. GPS uses satellites controlled
by the U.S. Government that are subject to
changes implemented in accordance with the
Department of Defense policy and the 2008
Federal Radio navigation Plan (FRP). Changes
may affect the performance of location-based
technology on your mobile device.
Certain Samsung Mobile Devices can also use an
Assisted Global Positioning System (AGPS), which
obtains information from the cellular network
to improve GPS performance. AGPS uses your
wireless service provider’s network and therefore
airtime, data charges, and/or additional charges
may apply in accordance with your service plan.
Contact your wireless service provider for details.
Your Location
Location-based information includes information
that can be used to determine the approximate
location of a mobile device. Mobile devices which
are connected to a wireless network transmit
location-based information. Additionally, if you
use applications that require location-based
information (e.g., driving directions), such
applications transmit location-based information.
The location-based information may be shared
with third-parties, including your wireless service
provider, applications providers, Samsung, and
other third-parties providing services.
