What is the difference between GDPR and non GDPR Samsung Magician software and is there's a way to tell whether the current version of Samsung Magician installed is following GDPR rules or not?

Datacollection. The software works the same.

I did some googling and people posted that GDPR version doesn't allow users to update there firmware.

 

This is what I see when I go to update section, does this mean the version of Samsung Magician installed in my PC isn't following GDPR rules?

Why shouldn't it update?

GDPR is only applicable inside the EU and associated states. If you're not in one, then don't pretend to be, it won't work. Having said that, there are several states/countries that have adopted this regulation into their own laws regarding data collection. Samsung knows about those so should implement a similar policy to adhere to your local laws.

 

GDPR does NOT prevent the consumer to update anything on or in his system, anyone claiming that is either telling porkies or trolling. Or his vendor is illegally blocking updates.

This is what I read when I was googling about Samsung Magician GDPR

 

 

This post seems to be 2 year old now so maybe Samsung changed it.
