this is how the Galaxy cleaner works

Every time we use a cell phone, and it's connected to the Internet, there are many connections established by external servers in the telephone service system, its systems and the system itself Also, given the small privacy line of our travels, it makes sense that there are concerns around you. There are many who watch by the magnifying glass everything happening on your smartphone; this is why the debate over the past few days about the functionality of an important app in Samsung Galaxy.

All phones sold by Samsung have their own management system in system settings, called "Device ConfigurationThis manager provides access to the battery Qihoo 360 technology, a well-known Chinese platform that has clashed with certain titles and privacy of its users. And it's good for this Samsung Galaxy service where the problem was.

Last week a Reddit user wrote a detailed thread on a forum accusing the Samson of allowing data to be exported to China using the Qihoo 360 installation on a portable Galaxy storage manager. Samsung also agreed to contact, but clarified that nowhere is personal information sent because the whole cleaning process is done in a system.

No personal data is sent to China

Samsung claims in its denial of charges of submitting personal information: nowhere to leave the device

. Communication is being developed through Qihoo 360 servers in China, but only to find out how the storage will be upgraded. Samsung allows you to send information related to phone model, software version or space available. When Beauty uses a square, Samsung's cleaning app will use you; thus eliminating the unnecessary. Qihoo 360 only interacts with "junk" files.

In statements to Action, Samsung has clarified how it uses its device management tool. Partnering with Qihoo 360, the fruits of the conflict from this app that establishes communication with Chinese servers, it only works for optimization of storage storage. The user information stays on the phone and does not integrate with other apps because it is a system that accesses them: the entire scanning and removal process was performed by Samsung.

Samsung Galaxy offers many additional functions for Android, some made by companies outside Samsung. Your calls include Microsoft software, for example, with the antivirus of McAffee or the Qihoo 360 engine. This reduces the number of your phones; even if your software is heavy on other users.
