Advertising & Analytics Program Data Use

High severity
Share 𝕏 Share in Share

What it is

T-Mobile uses your network activity, app usage, location, and demographic information to build advertising profiles and serve you targeted ads, and may share this data with advertising partners.

Why it matters

Your browsing and location data collected through T-Mobile's own network is being monetized for advertising purposes, which represents a significant use of sensitive behavioral data beyond basic service delivery.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

This program implicates CPRA 'sharing' definitions for cross-context behavioral advertising, requiring a clear opt-out mechanism and disclosure in the privacy notice; non-compliance carries enforcement risk from the California Privacy Protection Agency.

Consumer impact

T-Mobile collects extensive personal data including precise geolocation, network browsing activity, CPNI, biometric data, and financial information, and uses it for targeted advertising as well as sharing with affiliates, partners, and third-party data brokers. Consumers' data may be sold or shared in ways that affect their privacy and financial profile, and some data sharing persists even after account cancellation due to legal retention obligations. You can opt out of T-Mobile's Advertising & Analytics program and request deletion of your personal data by visiting https://www.t-mobile.com/privacy-center.

What you can do

    Navigate to T-Mobile's Privacy Center at https://www.t-mobile.com/privacy-center, locate the Advertising & Analytics opt-out section, and submit your opt-out preference. No deadline applies — you can opt out at any time.
