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/UIM

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 tether 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.
