The updated language adds explicit language describing data collection and use for legal compliance obligations, advertising programs (where consent is required), and service improvement. The policy now clarifies that T-Mobile for Business accounts opened with individual Social Security numbers fall under this consumer notice rather than the B2B notice, and that data collection may occur based on applicable legal requirements or to obtain necessary consent.
The updated policy adds explicit language stating that T-Mobile collects and uses data to comply with legal requirements and to support business needs, in addition to the primary purposes previously listed.

These changes clarify existing practices rather than introducing new data collection or use authorities.
The updated language provides clearer disclosure of how T-Mobile collects and uses customer data in response to legal obligations and for advertising purposes.
