Location Information Protection
Location Services: Determine the Location of Your Phone
Location Services collects and provides location information for location-based apps (such as weather,
maps, travel, and shopping apps) on your Phone. The approximate location of your Phone is
determined by GPS positioning (if GPS is enabled and the service is available), mobile network data,
and Wi-Fi positioning (if enabled). If GPS positioning is disabled, apps can still collect location
information in other ways.

Enable or Disable Location Services
After obtaining the location information permission, apps can obtain your location at any time. If your
location information is obtained by a malicious app, you may be at risk of harm or fraud. You can
enable or disable location services as needed and regularly monitor and manage the allowed
permissions for your apps to protect your privacy and security.
Enable or disable location services: Open

Settings, go to Security & privacy > Location

access, and enable or disable Access my location. When location services are enabled, you can also
set the appropriate positioning mode. When location services are disabled, aside for pre-installed
software, your Phone will stop all apps and services from collecting and using your location
information. The system will ask you to enable location services when you attempt to use these apps.

Use Wi-Fi and mobile networks: Calculates your Phone's location using carrier base station
location information or nearby Wi-Fi router location information. The accuracy of the location
information depends largely upon location information gathered from the base station or Wi-Fi
network. Accuracy normally ranges from 100 meters to several kilometers. Network positioning has

Security and Privacy

Enhanced Data Protection: Defend Your Privacy
Worried that your photos, bank account information, or other private data might get leaked if your
Phone is lost or stolen? Huawei Phones now feature security chips in addition to the combined
protection provided by the trusted root key and lock screen password. Whether your data is stored in
a microSD card or internal storage, it will receive the highest level of protection.
Stronger encryption and safeguards: Huawei Phones use a hardware key that cannot be used to
decrypt data when separated from the Phone. Based on the trusted root key, the encrypted
components are incorporated into the memory control chip to enhance the data protection capability
of the hardware. This works together with your lock screen password to protect your private data.
When you use PrivateSpace, Multi-user, encrypted microSD files, or other features to encrypt photos,
personal information, or other personal data, the only way your data can possibly be decrypted is if
the trusted root key, lock screen password, and security chip are simultaneously cracked.Not all
devices support microSD cards.

you protect your personal information:
l

Put your device in a safe place to prevent unauthorized use.

with a virus.

When using your device to browse the Internet, do not visit websites that might pose a security risk
to avoid your personal information from being stolen.

If you use services such as the portable Wi-Fi hotspot or Bluetooth, set passwords for these services
to prevent unauthorized access. Turn these services off when they are not in use.

Install device security software and regularly scan for viruses.

Be sure to obtain third-party applications from a legitimate source. Downloaded third-party
applications should be scanned for viruses.

Install security software or patches released by Huawei or authorized third-party application
providers.

Using unauthorized third-party software to update your device may damage your device or put your
personal information at risk. It is recommended that you update through your device's online
update feature or download official update packages for your device model from Huawei.

Some applications require and transmit location information. As a result, a third-party may be able
to share your location information.

Some third-party application providers may collect detection and diagnostic information on your
device to improve their products and services.

Water and Dust Resistance
Under controlled tests, the device is water and dust resistant. The resistance level complies with IP53

and resistance may decrease as a result of normal wear over time. Do not charge the device while it is
wet.
To prevent damage caused by liquid, do not:
143

l

Expose the device to pressurized or high-speed water. For example, carrying the device with you
when taking a shower, swimming, sailing, or surfing.

Use the device in environments with high temperature or humidity. For example, using the device in
saunas, spas, and bathrooms.

Expose the device to liquids other than pure water. For example, salt water, beverages containing
alcohol or sugar, cosmetic lotions, or detergents.

dry the device faster.

If the device has been dropped in water or the microphone, receiver, or speaker are wet, the sound
may not be clear during a call. To rectify this issue, refer to the aforementioned operations.

If the device gets exposed to liquid, do not connect the device to any accessories, and use a piece of
clean, soft cloth (such as, camera lens cloth) to wipe the device dry. Do not charge the device
immediately. Make sure the device is dried enough before charging it or connecting it to any
accessories. If in doubt, take your device to the nearest authorized Huawei Service Center for
assistance.
