Personal Information And Data Security - Huawei Ascend Y300 Quick Start Manual

Personal Information and
Data Security
The use of some functions or third-party applications on your device
could result in your personal information and data being lost or
becoming accessible to others. Several measures are
recommended to help you protect personal and confidential
information.
• Place your device in a safe area to prevent it from unauthorized
use.
• Set your device screen to lock and create a password or unlock
pattern to open it.
• Periodically back up personal information kept on your SIM/UIM
card, memory card, or stored in your device memory. If you
change to a different device, be sure to move or delete any
personal information on your old device.
• If you are worried about viruses when you receive messages or
emails from a stranger, you can delete them without opening
them.
• If you use your device to browse the Internet, avoid websites that
might pose a security risk to avoid theft of your personal
information.
• If you use services such as Wi-Fi tether or Bluetooth, set
passwords for these services to prevent unauthorized access.
When these services are not in use, turn them off.
• Install or upgrade 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 third-
party application providers.
