Starting April 26th, a new T-Mobile privacy policy allows the company to share your web browsing and mobile app<\/a> usage data with advertisers. New and existing customers who want to keep their data away from marketers must manually opt-out<\/a> of the program. This new privacy policy also applies to Sprint and Metro, which are owned by T-Mobile.<\/p>\n

First reported by the Wall Street Journal<\/em><\/a>, T-Mobile\u2019s new privacy policy allows the company to monitor your web browsing and mobile app usage to place you in an advertising group (or as T-Mobile calls it, an \u201caudience segment\u201d). Those who look up a lot of health or exercise tips may end up in a \u201cfitness\u201d category, for example, which companies can use for targeted ads.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we sell audience segments, we do not sell information that directly identifies customers, like name, address, or email. Rather, audience segments are associated with mobile advertising IDs, which are long set of numbers and letters. For example, this might say something like \u201c2drdn43np2cMapen084\u2033 is a sports enthusiast.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

If you want to keep T-Mobile from selling your data<\/a>, head over to My T-Mobile<\/a> and open the \u201cAccount\u201d tab. Then, go to \u201cProfile Settings,\u201d open \u201cPrivacy and Notifications,\u201d and click \u201cAdvertising and Analytics.\u201d You should see the names of everyone on your phone plan. Click one of the names and turn off \u201cuse my data to make ads more relevant to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

If there are multiple people on your plan, then you need to go back and complete this process for every name in the \u201cAdvertising and Analytics\u201d page. If you\u2019re subscribed to Sprint or Metro, follow the opt-out steps at the bottom of our guide on How-To Geek<\/a>.<\/p>\n

T-Mobile isn\u2019t the only carrier to collect and sell customer data, of course. If you want to opt-out of \u201crelevant advertising\u201d on Verizon or AT&T, head to your My Verizon<\/a> settings or AT&T privacy controls<\/a>.<\/p>\n
