What it is

T-Mobile may build a profile of your interests based on how you use its services and share that profile with advertising companies, and may share your data with third parties for their own marketing, unless you opt out.

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)

This provision authorizes T-Mobile to share your personal data with external advertising partners for commercial purposes beyond your service relationship with T-Mobile, which represents a broader use of consumer data than core service delivery requires.

Interpretive note: The precise scope of which third-party sharing relationships constitute a 'sale' or 'sharing' under the CPRA versus a service provider relationship is not fully resolved by the policy language and may depend on the contractual terms of individual partner agreements.
