Under this clause, T-Mobile collects Social Security numbers, biometric data, precise location, text message content, financial account information, and children's data, and the agreement states these categories will not be used for targeted advertising across websites or apps without separate consumer consent.

We collect the following categories of sensitive personal data (as defined under certain state and other applicable privacy laws): your Social Security number, driver's license, government-issued identification card, passport number, your account log in, financial account information, debit or credit card number in combination with any required security or access code, password, information allowing access to an account, your precise location, what's in your text messages, biometric data, and children's data. Unless you give us consent, we don't collect or use this data to infer characteristics about you and we only use or disclose the data for purposes described in section 7027(m) of the California Consumer Privacy Act Regulations. Unless you give us consent, we don't 'sell' or 'share' sensitive personal data for purposes of 'cross-context behavioral advertising,' which is targeted advertising that tracks your activity across different websites, applications, and services.
