T-Mobile Privacy Policy Review
This review explains the T-Mobile Privacy Notice in plain language for families. It was checked on October 28, 2026, against the version last updated June 26, 2026. This is not legal advice.
Primary source: T-Mobile Privacy Notice. The company is T-Mobile USA, Inc.
Snapshot
- You can “opt out of having your data sold or shared” in the Privacy Dashboard.
- T-Mobile collects which apps you use and how often.
- Personal data is used “including to train artificial intelligence models.”
- “We do not knowingly sell or share the personal data of minors under 18 years of age.”
What they collect
T-Mobile collects “data about where you are” when your device uses its network, “data about which apps you use and how often you use them,” and details of your calls, including type, location and destination.
Who gets the data
T-Mobile may sell or share data for advertising, with an opt-out. It also aggregates device data for Analytics and Reporting, which you can turn off separately.
Easy to miss
- Relevant Ads and Analytics and Reporting are two different switches.
- The primary account holder can authorize others to access account information.
New technology
T-Mobile lists training artificial intelligence models among its uses of personal data. The notice did not describe a specific opt-out for that.
Kids and families
T-Mobile says it does not knowingly sell or share data of minors under 18. It can only know a line is a child’s if the account shows it. The notice did not describe FamilyMode.
Older adults
Callers posing as T-Mobile often ask for a PIN or a texted code. Hang up and call 611 from your phone. Privacy requests go through T-Mobile’s personal data request page.
What you can turn off
- In the Privacy Dashboard, opt out of having your data sold or shared.
- Turn off Relevant Ads.
- Opt out of Analytics and Reporting.
What this means for you
T-Mobile sees your location and app use, and trains AI on personal data. The Privacy Dashboard has three switches worth turning off for every line.
Does T-Mobile use my data to train AI?
The notice says personal data is used to train artificial intelligence models.
