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 memory 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 memory les, 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 memory cards.

people can use the memory card's storage space, but cannot view the content of any encrypted les.
lDo not restart your Phone or remove your memory card during the encryption or decryption
process, as this may result in encryption or decryption failure, or even loss of data.
lBefore encrypting your les, make sure there is enough storage space in the memory card, and
that neither the card nor its les have been damaged.
lmemory card encryption and decryption is available only to the device owner.
