3 findings, in full

The first 3 of this report’s 15 key findings, complete — claim, reasoning, and the policy’s own wording.

Advertising & Profiling If you opt into Tailored Offers and Ads, T-Mobile analyzes your browsing, precise location and CPNI

What this means

T-Mobile says that where a customer opts into Tailored Offers and Ads, T-Mobile and its partners analyze the customer's app usage, purchase information, browsing activity, precise location, and Customer Proprietary Network Information (CPNI).

If a customer opts into Tailored Offers and Ads, T-Mobile and its partners analyze the customer's app usage, purchase information, browsing activity, precise location, and CPNI.

Why this matters

CPNI is the carrier's own record of your calls and service use, and opting in is what brings it into an advertising analysis.

What the policy says

If you opt in to Tailored Offers and Ads, we and our partners will analyze your data including app usage, purchase info, browsing activity, precise location, and CPNI for our Tailored Offers and Ads program.

Sharing In Rhode Island, cookie disclosures on T-Mobile's site could count as a legal sale

What this means

T-Mobile says that in Rhode Island some disclosures -- information from third-party cookies on its website among them -- could be considered a legal 'sale', and that it maintains a list of the third parties to whom it regularly discloses Rhode Island residents' data in this way.

In Rhode Island, some disclosures such as information from third-party cookies on T-Mobile's website could be considered a legal 'sale', and T-Mobile maintains a list of third parties to whom it regularly discloses Rhode Island residents' data in this way.

Why this matters

The finding is bounded to one state, and so is the list T-Mobile keeps because of it.

What the policy says

Some disclosures (like information from third-party cookies on our website) could be considered a “sale” under Rhode Island law. We maintain a list of third-party companies to whom we regularly disclose data of Rhode Island residents in ways that might be considered a “sale.”
