This statement supplements HMD Global Privacy Policy for products and services.

HMD Softlock is a pre-installed solution that enables remote locking of a mobile device. HMD Softlock is used in one or more of the following programs:

1) Device financing. To finance your device purchases, third parties may offer a financing program that allows you to purchase devices in installment plans. HMD Softlock will check if the device is enrolled in a financing program during the first use and after each factory reset. If the device is part of a financing program, HMD Softlock functions according to the financing program terms. For example, the device can be locked if the payments are overdue, or until the relevant payment has been made.

2) Network locking. The device might have been configured to work only with the SIM card of a specific network service provider. In case you insert a SIM card from a different network service provider, HMD Softlock will restrict services and features or lock the device. The device will resume normal operation once you insert the SIM card that is supposed to be used with the device.

3) Subscription. Devices hired from HMD Global or third parties may come with HMD Softlock pre-installed and be remotely locked under the circumstances described on the applicable terms and conditions.

We process Softlock data only to (i) enable HMD Softlock to work on the device, (ii) identify the device to be locked and unlocked and to (iii) develop our products and services. Signing up to device financing, network locking or subscription program may require you to agree to terms and conditions and privacy policy of such program.
