Samsung – Setting up Safely

At Samsung we are on a mission to empower future generations to achieve their full potential and pioneer positive social change through technology. Technology plays an integral role in children and young people’s lives and we recognise the importance of equipping parents, guardians and carers with the confidence and knowledge of online safety.

Samsung has supported Safer Internet Day since 2017 and partnered with Internet Matters since 2019, to offer useful tools and information about parental controls and online safety features available across Samsung’s wide range of products from our smartphones and tablets to our TVs and Smart Fridges.

Samsung runs online safety workshops for colleagues and customers throughout the year and all Samsung Experience Stores (and Samsung KX) throughout the country are Friendly-Wifi certified ensuring all appropriate filters are in place to block any access to harmful content in store.

Whether your child is taking their first digital footsteps online or growing in confidence and exploring new online spaces, parents, guardians and carers can set up Samsung Kids or a separate Samsung child account through Galaxy for Families to access various parental control features for Samsung’s mobile devices including privacy dashboards, purchase restrictions, screen time goals, app blocking/filter/timers, among others. All Samsung customers also have easy access to Google’s Family Link parental controls.

Here you will also find tips on how to make Samsung’s internet-connected TVs and other home appliances safer for the family.

You will also be able to explore and use The Online Together Project interactive quizzes together with your child to have open conversations about how we can create a more positive and inclusive culture online together. The quizzes cover important topics such as tackling hate and gender stereotypes online and are accompanied by guides for parents and teachers with information on where to seek further help and support if needed.
