The updated policy expands explicit descriptions of how T-Mobile uses personal data for marketing, analytics, and business needs, and clarifies that consent (rather than permission) is required for certain uses including location-based services and cross-context behavioral advertising. The policy now explicitly states that T-Mobile may collect health data in connection with service requests, and clarifies that third-party tracking technology operates across websites and apps. The policy also adds language stating that data collection and use may be required by applicable legal requirements.
