High severity
Share 𝕏 Share in Share

Why it matters

Sharing your data with advertising networks means your behavioral and demographic profile is distributed to companies you have no relationship with, and this data can be combined with other sources to create detailed commercial profiles used to influence your purchasing decisions and potentially affect credit, insurance, or employment decisions.

Consumer impact

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.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
