PRIVACY NOTICE



Last updated: May 13, 2024


OVERVIEW

We work hard to earn your trust. A big part of that is telling you what we do
with your data. This privacy notice describes the personal data we collect, how
it’s used, shared, and protected, as well as the data choices available to you.

Some of our products and services have their own privacy notices. We also have
privacy notices for certain types of people like job applicants, employees and
contractors, or children, and for certain types of data like biometric
information. Visit Privacy Notices to explore them all. If this notice is
different than a privacy notice for a specific product, service, group of
people, or type of data, the more specific privacy notice applies. 




HOW WE COLLECT DATA

We collect data about you in different ways:

 * Directly from you. For example, when you register for an account or provide
   marketing or communications preferences.  
 * Automatically.  For example, when you interact with our websites, use mobile
   applications on T-Mobile devices, or use a device connected to the T-Mobile
   network.
 * From other sources. For example, from companies that we own, our business
   partners, our vendors, and other third parties. This includes social media
   companies, financial institutions, credit reporting agencies, and data
   resellers.
 * From ourselves. We may create data about you. For example, we may infer that
   you’re looking for a new device or identify the types of devices you might
   like.

disabilities. We may be legally required to collect and keep data about an
individual’s disability status when we provide these services.

If you’re a customer of a T-Mobile IoT service, we collect data to support the
device. So, the type of data we collect will vary depending on the type of

registers only a silhouette, to indicate that a passenger is in the car.


PRIMARY PURPOSE FOR COLLECTION AND USE

We use data from drivers to provide our rideshare service, share driver profile
information, offer location-based content, address safety concerns, and for

password, or information allowing access to an account, your precise location,

you provide us with a police report about the theft of your device. Unless you

YOUR CHOICES

We offer you certain choices related to your personal data:

 * Access. You may request access to your personal data or confirmation that we
   have data about you. We will provide access to your data in a portable and
   machine-readable format. For multi-line accounts, the individual in charge of
   your account that submits an access request will receive account-level data
   for all lines on the account (e.g., billing and rate plan information).
   Personal data associated with a particular phone number on the account will
   not be shared with them. If you’re not in charge of the account, you’ll only
   see data that is associated with your phone number. 
 * Analytics and Reporting. You may opt out of having the data from your
   T-Mobile device aggregated as part of our Analytics and Reporting program by
   going to our Privacy Dashboard.
 * Changes. Most of our websites allow you to change your account profile. For
   changes that can’t be made through your account profile, you can request that
   we correct your personal data. 
 * Deletion. You may request that we delete your personal data. Note that in
   many situations we must keep some of your personal data for our business
   purposes, like providing service to you, detecting security problems, or
   complying with our legal obligations. 
 * Marketing emails or texts. You can adjust your marketing communication
   preferences in our Privacy Dashboard. To learn more, read the Your marketing
   preferences article.   
 * Do not sell or share. You may opt out of having your data sold or shared by
   us, which includes having it used for targeted advertising or for third
   parties to use for direct marketing, by going to our Privacy Dashboard or
   using the “Do Not Share or Sell My Personal Information” link on our websites
   or apps. If you’ve opted in to our Personalized Ads & Offers program, you may
   also need to withdraw your consent via the Privacy Dashboard to be removed
   from that program. We recognize the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal
   broadcast from certain web browsers as an opt-out request, but we don’t
   recognize the “do not track” signal because there isn’t a universal standard
   for how to apply it. Read our Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information
   article for more information. 
 * Profiling and automated decisions. You can tell us not to use your personal
   data for certain kinds of “profiling” that we might do in the future by
   visiting our Privacy Dashboard to opt out. “Profiling” is a specific type of
   activity under certain privacy laws and generally refers to the automated
   processing of personal data to evaluate, analyze, or predict certain personal
   aspects about your performance at work, economic situation, health, personal
   preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements. You
   can opt out of having profiling used for future decisions that produce legal
   or similarly significant effects on you. 

These choices may not apply in every circumstance. In some cases, we might limit
or deny your request because the law allows or requires us to do so. We might
also deny your request if we can’t verify who you are. We won’t discriminate
against you for making one of these choices.  

To make an access, change, or deletion request please submit a personal data
request. We’re required to verify your identity before we can give you access
to, change, or delete your personal data. So, you’ll need to provide some data
for us to do the verification. This includes your email address and phone
number, or your T-Mobile ID and password. If you don’t have a T-Mobile ID, you
may need to provide your U.S. driver’s license, state ID, or passport. We may
also need a photo of your face so we can ensure the photo ID belongs to you. In
some cases, you may designate an authorized agent to submit requests on your
behalf.

If you disagree with our denial of a request, you may be entitled to submit an
appeal. If that’s the case, we’ll include instructions for how to submit your
appeal in our response. 

We won’t use, disclose, sell, or permit access to Maine broadband “customer
personal information” unless you give us permission, or it’s allowed by Maine
law. If you’re a Maine customer, you have rights you can exercise in our Privacy
Dashboard. 

Under California’s Shine the Light law, California customers may request
information about whether a business has disclosed personal data (as defined in
that law) to any third parties for their direct marketing purposes. We don’t do
that without your permission.

HOW WE PROTECT DATA

Our cybersecurity program is continuously working to help keep personal data
safe and to maintain secure systems and products. We monitor performance, invest
in our digital infrastructure, and leverage industry best practices to identify
