===Voice recordings of potentially private conversations transmitted (February ''2015'')===
In 2015, CNet first reported that the privacy policy of Samsung smart TVs reveals that they can record private conversations and send them to the manufacturer or its party contractors for voice recognition.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Matyszczyk |first=Chris |date=2015-02-08 |title=Samsung's warning: Our Smart TVs record your living room chatter |url=https://www.cnet.com/news/privacy/samsungs-warning-our-smart-tvs-record-your-living-room-chatter/ |access-date=2025-08-30 |website=CNET}}</ref>

However, Samsung did not explicitly deny the fact that this could lead to private conversations being transmitted to Samsung or their partner Nuance, Inc.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2015-02-10 |title=Samsung Smart TVs Do Not Monitor Living Room Conversations |url=https://news.samsung.com/global/samsung-smart-tvs-do-not-monitor-living-room-conversations |access-date=2025-08-30 |website=Samsung Newsroom}}</ref>
