Summary

  • Samsung smart TV owners are experiencing an excessively intrusive privacy notification which keeps reappearing on their screens every two hours.
  • The notification is a reminder to users that Samsung’s privacy policy allows it to collect information on users’ TV usage.
  • Some affected users have posted complaints on Samsung’s support forum, with one user suggesting that a sound accompanies the notification, which then disappears before the full message can be read.
  • While some users have managed to resolve the issue by logging into their Samsung account via a web browser and reviewing the privacy notice, others have achieved temporary relief by disconnecting their TV from the internet.
  • Samsung is reportedly working on a broader solution to fix the software bug.
