Introduction to User Data Protection
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 memory card or internal storage, it will receive the highest level of protection.
Security and Privacy
53
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 memory card les, or other features to encrypt
photos, personal information, or other personal data, others cannot gain access to your data unless
the trusted root key, lock screen password, and security chip are simultaneously cracked.
Not all devices support memory cards.
