Our Commitment to Online Safety

At Samsung, under our global Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) vision of ‘Together for Tomorrow! Enabling People’, we are on a mission to empower future generations to achieve their full potential and pioneer positive social change through technology.

We recognise the importance of equipping parents, carers and guardians with the confidence and knowledge of online safety to ensure children and young people enjoy the benefits of technology safely.

We are building online safety into our product innovation through in-built apps, safety features and tools such as Galaxy for Families and Samsung Kids. Through our CSR programmes, we are working with partners such as Internet Matters to also offer educational content and workshops on online safety for young people, guardians and teachers.

Key Features & Tools

Galaxy for Families

Create a Samsung Child Account for your child’s mobile device to set up boundaries that’s right for your family. Our parental control features include managing children’s access to websites, apps and games downloads and in-app purchases, sharing location and monitoring screen time. Follow our step-by-step guide to get started.

Samsung Kids

If a young child is using a shared family device, Samsung Kids could be right for you. It sets up a separate child-friendly home screen protected by a PIN (or biometrics) with the ability to add profiles for up to six children. You can manage children’s playtimes and access to specific contacts, websites and apps.

SOS Messages & More

Galaxy smartphones and smart watches allows you or your children to reach out for help and raise an SOS emergency alert. Up to four designated contacts will receive an auto-call and message with the device location and pictures from the camera as well as a five-second audio recording once set up.

Guardian’s can also check monitor permissions for camera, microphone and location of a device through our Privacy Dashboard and create Secure Folders to keep any files, images or apps private in a separate secure folder.

Samsung Smart TV & Fridges

Samsung Smart TVs have in-built parental controls to help manage what your child can access. You can make sure the content they are watching is age-appropriate by blocking programmes by rating or restricting access to certain apps.

Samsung Family Hub refrigerators come with a Wifi-enabled touchscreen and controls that lets you manage your groceries and connect with your family, stream music or mirror a compatible TV. You can manage security controls and set restrictions on Family Hub features and apps to make it safer for the whole family to use.

The Online Together Project

Together with our partner Internet Matters, we have developed a series of interactive educational tools to encourage open conversations about online safety between parents and children. The tool offers age-specific information and advice on topics such as tackling online hate and gender stereotypes online.
