Document Record

What it is

As your internet service provider, T-Mobile can see the websites you visit and apps you use on its network and may use this information to infer interests and serve targeted advertising.

This analysis describes what T-Mobile's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Unlike website cookies, network-level monitoring is invisible to consumers and captures all online activity on T-Mobile's network regardless of browser privacy settings, representing a uniquely invasive form of data collection.

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.
  • Opt Out of Arbitration
    Go to https://www.t-mobile.com/privacy-center and opt out of the Advertising & Analytics program to prevent T-Mobile from using your network browsing data for targeted advertising purposes.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (regulatory & governance intelligence)

Network-level data collection by telecommunications carriers implicates FCC open internet and CPNI rules, CPRA sensitive data frameworks, and FTC unfairness doctrine; the use of deep packet inspection or similar methods for advertising purposes without meaningful consent has been a subject of prior FCC enforcement and should be flagged in due diligence reviews.
