So says one of my dodgy facebook friends.
Any truth in this?
Samsung's global privacy policy (Smart TVs) includes these words...
ETA I can't find a camera on ours. However the policy says...Please be aware that if your spoken words include personal or other sensitive information, that information will be among the data captured and transmitted to a third party through your use of Voice Recognition.
Your SmartTV is equipped with a camera that enables certain advanced features, including the ability to control and interact with your TV with gestures and to use facial recognition technology to authenticate your Samsung Account on your TV. The camera can be covered and disabled at any time, but be aware that these advanced services will not be available if the camera is disabled.
