The personal data we collect depends on the Sites and Services you access and use, how you interact with our Sites and Services, and the choices you make.

• Contact data, such as your name, e-mail address, mailing address, and phone number;
• Account data, such as your usernames, passwords, security codes, or signature;
• Payment information, such as credit card, debit card, bank account number, or your or your company’s other financial information;

• Other data you choose to provide, such as when you submit a survey response, request more information from us, enter a contest or promotion, or contact our representatives.

When Visitors and Customers access or use our Sites and Services, we collect some data automatically. For example:

• Data about your mobile device such as: operating system, hardware version, device settings, language settings, telecommunications carriers, ISPs, installed application IDs, and time zone.
• Data about your use of and interaction with your mobile device, mobile apps, websites, and advertisements including the names and types of apps that you use and features you use in those apps, web browsing and usage history, and search history, pages viewed, time spent on a page, configuration of a Customer’s or Visitor’s landing page, or settings used.

Identifiers and device information, such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address, device identifiers including mobile device Advertising ID (known as “IDFA” for iOS devices, or “Android Advertising ID” for Android devices), information about your device’s operating system, hardware version, device settings, and browser information, including type, version, language, and configuration when you visit our Sites. We also collect time zone, language setting, referring URLs, cookie information, click path, general geographic information, and your Internet Service Provider. Our Sites and Services store and retrieve data using cookies (or similar technologies) set on your device, as further described below in the Cookies, Web Beacons, and Analytics section.

• Inferences drawn to create a profile about you reflecting your preferences, characteristics, psychological trends, predispositions, behavior, attitudes, intelligence, abilities, and aptitudes.

We may collect all of the categories of personal data about you from third-party sources including, for example:

• Data brokers from which we obtain demographic data to supplement the personal data we collect;
• Applications and services, such as social networks, that license, sell, or otherwise make users’ personal data available to others;
• Service providers such as analytics providers or providers that help us determine your device’s location based on its IP address to customize certain Services to your location;
• Partners with which we offer co-branded services or engage in joint marketing activities; and
• Publicly available sources, such as open government databases or other personal information in the public domain.

We and others use a variety of tracking technologies, including cookies and device IDs on our Sites, in emails, on social media sites, and in advertisements that are served to help:

• Recognize users across devices, such as smartphones, computers, tablets or related browsers.
• Recognize the browser of any returning Visitor or Customer browser and save and remember your preference that were set during that browser’s previous visit to the Site, such as your sign-in information.
• Customize the content or advertisements provided to a Visitor or Customer on the Site or on other websites across the Internet.
• Measure and research the effectiveness of website features and offerings, advertisements, and emails by determining which emails you open and act upon.

We use third party cookies on our Site, we do not have access to, or control over, the technologies that these third parties may use to collect data about you or your interests, and the information practices of these third parties are not covered by this Privacy Notice.

We use web beacons (small graphic images on a web page or an HTML e-mail) to monitor your interaction with our Sites or e-mails. Web beacons are generally invisible because they are very small (only 1-by-1 pixel) and the same color as the background of the web page or e-mail message. Web beacons place cookies on your devices and collect data (such as the cookie data stored on your browser or the IP address of your device). We, and our analytics and advertising partners, use these cookies, web beacons, device IDs, and other tracking technologies on our Sites and with our Services to collect personal data that may allow our service providers to perform analytics on our Sites and Services, monitor the traffic patterns within our Site, understand whether a Visitor has accessed the Site from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party Site, and measure the effectiveness of our offerings, store your preferences and settings, enable you to sign-in, analyze how our Sites and Services perform, track your interaction with the Sites and Services, develop inferences, deliver and tailor interest-based advertising, combat fraud, and fulfill other legitimate purposes. We and/or our partners also share the data we collect or infer with third parties for these purposes.

We and others may use these and a variety of technologies and techniques to collect data about you and/or the apps, sites, devices, and browsers you use (“Properties”). We and others use these tools on or through multiple Properties over time and across different Properties. Data collected about you from a particular Property you use may be used and linked with other data collected about you on a different Property you use. Any choice made by you regarding our collection of data on one Property may not apply on other Properties and you should revisit opt-out pages or settings from those other Properties to apply your choices to those Properties.

One of the analytics providers we use is Google Analytics. To learn more about how Google collects and processes personal data, please visit https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Most browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can go to your browser settings to learn how to delete or reject cookies. If you choose to delete or reject cookies, this could affect certain features or services of our website. If you choose to delete cookies, settings and preferences controlled by those cookies, including advertising preferences, may be deleted and may need to be recreated.

To learn how to opt-out of our sale, license, or use of your personal data by Advertising Solutions to support interest-based advertising, visit Mobile Advertising ID Opt-Out. 

Many of our partners are also members of associations, which provide a simple way to opt out of analytics and ad targeting in the United States, which you can access at Network Advertising Initiative and Digital Advertising Alliance.

Most email clients have settings which allow you to prevent the automatic downloading of images, which will disable web beacons in the email messages you read.

You can also restrict mobile interest-based advertising by turning on “Limit Ad Tracking” in your device settings. To limit Ad Track on an Apple device, visit Apple support. To limit Ad Tracking on an Android device, visit Google support. You may also reset the Advertising ID associated with your device by following instructions provided by your device manufacturer or operating system developer.

Please note that opting out with any of the methods above will not stop the display of advertisements to you; only those advertisements that are targeted to you individually based on your profile.

The California Consumer Protection Act (“CCPA”) requires us to disclose categories of personal data sold to third parties and how to opt-out of future sales. The CCPA defines personal data to include online identifiers, including IP address and cookie IDs. The law also defines a “sale” to include making data available to third parties in some cases. We permit our advertising and analytics providers to collect IP addresses and cookie IDs through our Sites and Services when you access and use our Sites and Services, and they may further sell such data to others, but do not “sell” any other types of personal data in connection with these Services.

If you do not wish for us or our partners to “sell” or further “sell” your personal information to third parties for advertising or analytics purposes, please visit Advertising Solutions Mobile Advertising ID Opt-Out. You can also make your Do Not Sell or Share Request by emailing  mmp-privacy@T-Mobile.com or calling 1-844-905-1877.

California law requires that operators of websites and online services disclose how they respond to a Do Not Track signal. Because there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret Do Not Track signals, we do not currently respond to Do Not Track signals. However, we provide you with the ability to opt-out of the use of tracking technologies used to send you interest-based advertising as described above.

You can choose whether to receive promotional communications from us by email. If you receive promotional email from us and would like to stop, you can do so by following the directions in that email or by contacting us as set forth in the “Contact Us” section below. These choices do not apply to mandatory service emails that are part of certain of our products, or to surveys or other informational emails that may have their own unsubscribe method.

Visit our Cookies Web Beacons, and Analytics section for information on how to opt-out of certain tracking with cookies, mobile IDs and other technologies.

We share or disclose the categories of personal data described above with others, as explained below.

We may disclose or transfer personal data about you as part of a corporate business transaction, such as a merger or acquisition, joint venture, corporate reorganization, financing, or sale of company assets, or in the unlikely event of insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership, in which case the personal data could be transferred to third parties as a business asset in the transaction – subject to the terms of this privacy notice. We may also share personal data with banks for purposes of transferring loans in connection with your device financing.

In addition to the data described above, we may share aggregated data of Visitors or Customers publicly and with our partners. For example, we may share data publicly to show trends about the general use of our Services. This data cannot be used to identify individuals. We do not share or disclose any data that is confidential or proprietary to our customers.

We may disclose personal data to third parties involved in legal process or protection matters, including government authorities, where we have a good faith belief that access, use, preservation, or disclosure of such data is reasonably necessary, including:

• To satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request;

We use a variety of administrative, technical, and physical security measures designed to protect your personal data against accidental, unlawful, or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure, or use while it is under our control.

Despite our security efforts, we cannot guarantee that our safeguards will prevent every unauthorized attempt to access, use, or disclose personal data. We maintain security incident response plans to investigate and remediate incidents involving unauthorized access to personal data.
