T‑MOBILE PRIVACY NOTICE

Effective: 5/05/2021

YOU TRUST T‑MOBILE TO CONNECT YOU TO THE WORLD EVERY DAY, AND WE’RE WORKING HARD
TO EARN A PLACE IN YOUR HEART. A BIG PART OF THAT IS MAINTAINING YOUR PRIVACY.
WE BELIEVE YOU DESERVE TRANSPARENCY, EDUCATION, CHOICE, PROTECTION, AND
SIMPLICITY. OUR GOAL IS TO HELP YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PRIVACY.

WHAT’S NEW

As we bring T‑Mobile and Sprint together, and consistent with our core privacy
principles, we are changing some of the choices we offer you about the use and
sharing of data for targeted advertising.

What’s changing – For most of how we use your data, nothing’s changed. However,
starting April 26, 2021, T‑Mobile will begin using some data we have about you,
including information we learn from your web and device usage data (like the
apps installed on your device) and interactions with our products and services,
for our own and 3rd party advertising, unless you tell us not to. When we share
this information with third parties, it is not tied to your name or information
that directly identifies you. Instead, we tie it to your mobile advertising
identifier or another unique identifier and share it in an “audience segment.”
This segment might indicate for example that you, along with a pool of many
other consumers, have been identified as a sports enthusiast. Please visit our
Advertising Choice section below for more information.

HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN DO:

 * Tell us how you want us to communicate with you for T‑Mobile marketing.
 * Opt out of advertising and analytics here:
    * T‑Mobile
    * Sprint
    * Metro by T‑Mobile

 * Submit a Personal Data Request. Anyone in the US including Puerto Rico can
   submit a personal data request to access or delete certain data T‑Mobile has
   about you.
 * Tell T‑Mobile “Do Not Sell My Personal Information.” T‑Mobile will not sell
   personal data to third parties when you tell us not to. Whether you opt out
   of the sale of your personal information or opt out using our advertising
   settings here, your info is not used in our ad program. Note that Assurance
   Wireless is not included in our ad program.


A few things to note:

 * This program changes the way Sprint offered choices for sharing in the past,
   as this data was previously used only if you indicated that it was OK with
   you first.
 * If you opted-out of a previous T‑Mobile or Sprint advertising program, that
   setting will not apply. You must opt-out again.  
 * T‑Mobile’s new advertising toggle will not change your Do Not Sell
   preferences. If you’ve made changes to this setting while logged in with your
   T‑Mobile ID in the past, these settings will remain the same.
 * We may occasionally ask you to confirm your choices. Please see our
   Advertising Choice section below for more information..
   .

A couple of things that are not changing – 

 * We do not use or share Customer Proprietary Network Information (“CPNI”) or
   precise location data for advertising unless you give us your express
   permission.
 * We also do not use information from company liable T‑Mobile for Business,
   T‑Mobile for Government, T‑Mobile prepaid, or Assurance Wireless accounts for
   advertising. Most importantly, if we know information belongs to a child, we
   do not use it for advertising.

For more information about data we use and share for advertising, visit
Advertising and Analytics. To learn about how to opt-out, please visit our
privacy tools.

notice.

SCOPE

This privacy notice (“notice”) explains how T‑Mobile and our subsidiaries and
representatives (“T‑Mobile, “we” or “us”), collect, use, share, and protect your
personal data. Importantly, it provides you with information about your personal
data choices.

This notice applies to the personal data we have about you. This is data that
identifies, relates to, describes, can be associated with, or could reasonably
identify you as an individual. Personal data includes data like your name,
address, or email address, as well as less obvious data like demographic data,
device data, call records, advertising ID and location data.

This notice applies to all personal data we collect and use when you access or
use our cell and data services, websites, apps, and other services (our
“services”), purchase and use our devices and products (“products”), visit our
retail stores, or communicate or interact with us in any way—like by mail,
email, phone, chat, social media, or in-person.

Some products and services have their own privacy notices. For a list, click
here. If this notice conflicts with a privacy notice for a specific product or
service, the product or service notice applies.

This notice does not apply to data that is not personal, like anonymous,
de-identified, or aggregated data (for example, summary statistics), even if it
comes from personal data.

YOUR PERSONAL DATA CHOICES

We offer everyone in the U.S. including Puerto Rico choices about their personal
data. If you have questions, please contact us. Choices and contact methods may
differ for enterprise accounts (T‑Mobile for Business/T‑Mobile for Government).
Your options include:

ACCESS AND DELETE

Access your personal data by submitting a request here. You may ask us to see
specific pieces of personal data we have collected about you as well as:

 * the categories of personal data we have collected;
 * our business or commercial purposes for collecting or selling personal data;
 * the sources from which we collect personal data;
 * the types of third parties we share personal data with;
 * the types of personal data we disclose for business purposes; and
 * details about personal data we have sold and to whom.

For multi-line accounts, the primary account holder may access information for
all lines on the account and designate permissions to other users. Account
permissions impact who sees what information. All users without account
permissions will only be able to access information related to their line,
including CPNI.

Delete your personal data by submitting a request here. You may ask us to delete
the personal data we have collected about you. If you do, we may not delete all
your data. For example, we may keep personal data that is necessary to bill you
for services, detect security problems, or to comply with laws. If you request
that we delete your personal data, we might not be able to offer some services
to you or they might not work the way they’re supposed to or that you’re used
to.

Verification of Your Identity We have to verify your identity before we can give
you access to or delete your personal data. If we can’t verify your identity,
we’ll unfortunately have to deny your request. This is to protect you. To learn
more about our verification process, please read our FAQs. Enterprise customer
accounts (T‑Mobile for Business/ T‑Mobile for Government) are protected through
authentication and access methods that are different than those used by
individual consumers.

DO NOT SELL

Tell T‑Mobile “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” by submitting a request
here. An example of a sale is when we share information about you (like when
you’ve visited our sites or the apps you have on your phone) tied to unique
identifiers, like device IDs, with third parties for targeting advertising. When
you tell us not to sell your personal information, we won’t share your
information for these purposes. Of course, not all sharing of personal data is a
sale, like when T‑Mobile shares your data with service providers to provide our
products and services. You can learn more about our advertising and analytics
here or the “Do Not Sell” setting here.


Whether you opt out of the sale of your personal information or opt out using
our advertising settings here, your info is not used in our ad program.  Note
that Assurance Wireless is not included in our ad program.

MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS

We want to tell you about products and services we or our partners offer, but if
that’s not your thing, you can tell us here. Not all of our communications are
for marketing and you will continue to receive service messages for your
products and services (like bills, transactional notices, customer service,
etc.). Learn more in our Marketing Choice article.

ADVERTISING CHOICE

T‑Mobile data use for advertising Under T‑Mobile’s personalized ads program,
T‑Mobile will use and analyze data from your device and usage data generated by
your use of T‑Mobile products and services to create inferences for our own and
3rd party advertising until you tell us not to use it. This data helps us
understand more about user interests (e.g., sports enthusiast, loves cooking,
etc.). To build these inferences, we will use information like broadband
information, network diagnostic data (Android users only), IP address, device
and advertising IDs, mobile apps installed or used with your device, content
interactions, like video and content viewing info, and web browsing data, device
activity and attributes.

When we share information like inferences with third parties, it is not tied to
your name or information that directly identifies you. Instead, we tie it to
your mobile advertising identifier or another unique identifier. 

We do not use or share Customer Proprietary Network Information (“CPNI”) or
precise location data for advertising unless you give us your express
permission. We also do not use information from company liable T‑Mobile for
Business or T‑Mobile for Government, T‑Mobile prepaid, or Assurance Wireless
accounts for advertising. Most importantly, if we know information belongs to a
child we do not use it for advertising.

For more information about data we use and share for advertising, visit
Advertising and Analytics. To learn about how to opt-out, visit our privacy
tools.

Whether you opt out of the sale of your personal information or opt out using
our advertising settings here, your info is not used in our ad program.  Note
that Assurance Wireless is not included in our ad program.

Ads on Your Mobile Device, Computer or Other Devices You can get instructions on
how to opt-out of targeted ads served by most advertising networks that use
cookies, Ad IDs and similar technology to serve you personal ads on your mobile
device or web browser, by:

 * Clicking on the AdChoices icon on any interest-based ad.
 * Visiting https://youradchoices.com/control.
 * Visiting our Advertising and Analytics article.

You can also partially manage targeted ads through your system settings.
Resetting your device advertising ID does not opt-out your device from targeted
ads, but data associated with your prior advertising ID will not be linked to
your new identifier through the device. Also, if you reset your device
advertising ID your prior opt-out choices will not apply to the new ID. To
maintain your opt-out choices, you will need to opt-out again. These opt-outs
will not impact “contextual” advertisements (e.g., a sporting goods
advertisement on a sports-themed website) or ads we place on our own websites
and apps based on your activity on those sites and apps.

Cookies Choice Most web browsers can be set to detect or reject cookies. Each
browser is different, so check the “Help” menu of your browser settings to learn
how to change your cookie preferences. If you reject cookies, some things on our
websites may not work properly.

Ads on Social Media We may work with certain social media websites or platforms
(such as Facebook or Twitter) to serve targeted ads to you as part of a
customized social media campaign. You can opt-out of receiving customized ads on
your social media platforms by changing your ad preferences on those platforms.
We do not control those platforms or your ad preference settings on them and
recommend regularly visiting your ad preference settings to ensure that they
remain accurate.

Some Ad Choices opt-out mechanisms described in the Advertising Choice section
and the “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” mechanism for T‑Mobile websites
described in the Do Not Sell section rely on cookies to retain your opt-out
preferences. If you reject or erase cookies, your Ad Choices and Do Not Sell
requests may not work right and you may need to perform the opt-out or make the
request again.

You can also go to Ad Choices to set your preferences for use of cookies for
advertising. To learn more about cookies visit our Cookies and Tracking
Technologies article.

Location Data Choice We request your permission before collecting and using
precise location data associated with your identifying information for certain
non-essential activities. For more information see our Cookies and Tracking
Technology article. If you have previously consented to these uses, you may
revoke that permission at any time through the device’s operating system
location preference controls or, in some cases, the app settings. You may also
follow the standard uninstall process to remove the app from your device.

Sales of Personal Data

California law requires us to tell you that in the past 12 months, T‑Mobile‑

following categories of personal data for the reasons listed below: We shared
device identifiers and internet and electronic network activity to facilitate
online advertising. This means that a unique, resettable number that identifies
your device was linked to online activity and shared with others who use that
data for advertising and analytics purposes (like advertising networks, data
analytics providers, and social media platforms). For Sprint customers, we used
to share location and usage information with other companies in a way that does
not directly identify you for their use in creating aggregate reports. For more
information, check out the Advertising and Analytics article. T‑Mobile does not
knowingly sell the personal data of kids under 16. If you do not want your data
sold click here.

any third parties for their direct marketing purposes. We do not do that without
your permission.

CHILDREN’S DATA

We believe it is important to protect the privacy and safety of children. To
learn more about T‑Mobile’s privacy practices for children, please refer to the
Children’s Privacy Notice. Generally, if you allow a child to use our products
or services by providing them a device or other access associated with your
account, any personal data associated with their use will be treated as your
personal data. If you are the primary account holder, you can set marketing and
other preferences for other lines on your account, including those for any
children on your account. 

This privacy notice and the Children’s Privacy Notice do not apply to data
collected by third party apps and we encourage parents to review the terms and
policies of apps before allowing children to download them. For more info, see
the Family Controls article.

OTHER IMPORTANT INFO

ADVERTISING AND ANALYTICS

You may see T‑Mobile and other advertisements on your devices - whether you are
connected to our network or not. These ads may be targeted to your device based
on information that we, the advertiser, and other third parties have about your
behavior or interests to make them more useful to you. These ads are called
interest-based or targeted ads.

Like most companies, T‑Mobile works with third parties, including advertising
networks, which collect information about you through devices, websites, and
apps, serve ads for us and others, and measure their effectiveness. The
advertisers and third parties that provide these ads may use cookies, code, and
web beacons or use mobile device identifiers and similar technologies for these
activities. For example, third parties like Google Ad Manager and Nielsen may
use technology to collect data to deliver, personalize, and measure ads for some
of our Products and Services. This technology allows tracking of device activity
over time across online properties. The advertisers and advertising networks’
use of these technologies and of the information collected is covered by their
own privacy notices and those of the sites where they operate. T‑Mobile may also
use its own online advertising services in connection with these ad activities.

We may also partner with analytic service providers like Google Analytics to
help track your use of our products and services. To learn more about how Google
collects and processes personal data, visit
https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. For additional details,
see the Cookies and Tracking Technology article. We follow the Digital
Advertising Alliance's ("DAA") Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral
Advertising. To learn more see our Advertising and Analytics  article. For more
information on our ad program and your choices, go to the Advertising Choices
section.

Do Not Track signals are a web browser setting or mechanism used to indicate
that you do not want your online activity tracked. Because there is no universal
standard of how to apply the that setting, we currently do not honor them.
However, we honor Do Not Sell settings.

GEOLOCATION DATA

If your mobile device is turned on, our network is collecting data about where
it is. We may use, provide access to, or disclose this network location data
without your permission to provide and support our services. Examples include
to: 

 * route wireless communications;
 * operate and improve our network and business;
 * detect and prevent fraud;
 * provide information to emergency responders about where to find you when you
   call public safety agencies, including through 911 or similar emergency
   services numbers; or
 * as required by law.

Subject to your settings, we and others may also use location data to provide
location-based services (like SyncUP PETS), or to personalize your experience
and ads. To learn more, see our Cookies and Tracking Technology article and our
Advertising and Analytics page.

INTERNET OF THINGS

We provide connectivity to Internet of Things devices and services offered by
other companies. We collect basic information about the information flowing over
our network. However, if you are a customer of a T‑Mobile IoT service, we, and
our apps providers, also collect information from the IoT device and any related
app to support the service. The information varies depending on the service but
may include personal data like contact information and location, audio, and
device activity and measurement data.

DATA RETENTION

We retain your personal data for business or tax needs, or legal reasons.

TECHNOLOGIES IN RETAIL STORES

In some of our retail stores, beacons have been deployed and we receive
aggregate reports (none of which identify any individual or device) from these
stores regarding store traffic that uses information collected from beacons
through mobile apps. We may also use technology that tracks aggregate traffic
patterns and wait times in our stores using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth identifiers
(e.g., a MAC address). We will provide a notice at each location where we use
this technology. If you don’t want your device used this way, opt out at any
time by entering your MAC address at https://optout.smart-places.org.

UNAFFILIATED THIRD PARTIES

Our products and services provide links and access to others’ websites, content
services, and apps, and allow you to share personal data with others and to use
products and services that T‑Mobile does not control. These third parties may
collect your personal data. For example, we may offer social sharing features
and other integrated tools (such as the Facebook “Like” button), which let you
share actions you take on our products and services with other media, and vice
versa. Your use of such features may enable the sharing of information with your
friends or the public, depending on the settings you establish with the entity
that provides the social sharing feature. Look for their privacy notices to see
what personal data they collect, share, and use, as we of course do not have any
control over those practices.

For additional details, check out our article on Device Apps.

US-BASED ORGANIZATION

T‑Mobile is headquartered in the United States and our data processing mostly
happens in the United States. Your personal data may be transferred to,
processed, and stored in the United States or in other countries where our
affiliates or service providers process data.

INTERNATIONAL DATA PRIVACY

T‑Mobile’s international services, previously provided by Sprint and now part of
T‑Mobile for Business, are directed to business customers. Users of T‑Mobile's
international services are typically employees of those business customers, or
prospective business customers, and personal data that we collect will generally
be limited to information collected or generated in a business context.
T‑Mobile’s International Data Privacy Notice describes the collection, use,
disclosure, transfer, storage, and processing of personal data we collect
outside the United States.

FUTURE CHANGES

We keep this privacy notice up to date. When we make changes, we will let you
know by updating the date at the top of the page. If we’re making a big change
(one that is considered material), we’ll also reach out to you (e.g., by text or
email or with your bill). If you keep using our products and services after we
notify you of a big change, we’ll take that to mean you’re fine with it.
