What it is

The agreement provides a data sale and sharing opt-out mechanism through the Privacy Dashboard and a site-level link, recognizes the Global Privacy Control signal as a valid opt-out, and states that separate consent withdrawal through the Privacy Dashboard may be required for consumers enrolled in specific advertising programs.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Under this clause, personal data is sold or shared for targeted advertising unless a consumer opts out through the Privacy Dashboard or the 'Do Not Share or Sell My Personal Information' link. Consumers previously enrolled in Personalized Ads and Offers or Tailored Offers and Ads must also separately withdraw program-specific consent to fully exit those advertising uses.

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
    Visit T-Mobile's Privacy Dashboard and use the 'Do Not Share or Sell My Personal Information' controls to opt out of data sale and sharing for targeted advertising. If enrolled in Tailored Offers and Ads or Personalized Ads and Offers, separately withdraw consent for those programs in the Dashboard.

You may opt out of having your data sold or shared by us, which includes having it used for targeted advertising or for third parties to use for direct marketing or similar uses, by going to our Privacy Dashboard or using the 'Do Not Share or Sell My Personal Information' link on our websites or apps. If you've opted in to our Personalized Ads and Offers or Tailored Offers and Ads programs, you may also need to withdraw your consent via the Privacy Dashboard to be removed from those programs. We recognize the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal broadcast from certain web browsers as an opt-out request, but we don't recognize the 'do not track' signal because there isn't a universal standard for how to apply it.
