If T-Mobile collects data from children under 13 on family plan lines without adequate COPPA-compliant parental consent, both the company and parents face significant risks — the company faces FTC enforcement fines, and children's location, communication, and behavioral data may be processed and shared without appropriate safeguards.
T-Mobile collects extensive personal data including your real-time location, call and text metadata, device identifiers, financial information, and inferred behavioral profiles, and shares this data with advertising partners and affiliated companies for targeted marketing purposes. This means your daily movements, communication patterns, and financial behavior may be used to build a commercial profile about you without your active knowledge. You can opt out of data sharing for advertising purposes and submit data access or deletion requests by visiting t-mobile.com/privacy-center or calling 1-800-937-8997.
