Prevent T-Mobile from sharing our data from the app Prevent T-Mobile from sharing my data on the web
Sadly, T-Mobile has joined the slew of companies choosing to sell usage data for apps and web browsers. The idea is that advertisers can target their ads more precisely and reach potential customers. The problem is that to achieve this, the user's private data is used, which does not make us feel comfortable with the situation. That's why we need to prevent T-Mobile from sharing our data.
Luckily, the way to achieve it is too simple and fast. Although, it's something we shouldn't have to do. Our data, by default, should belong privately and not be shared with anyone..
Prevent T-Mobile from sharing our data from the app
- The first thing will be to open the T-Mobile application from our Android device.
- Next, we are going to click on the More tab that is in the lower right corner.
- Now we will have to go to Advertising and analysis. Here we recommend not to participate separately for each number that appears in our account.
- Here we will have to deactivate the option Use my data for analysis and reports.
- Now we are going to have to deactivate: Use my data so that the ads are more relevant to me.
Prevent T-Mobile from sharing my data on the web
In the case of wanting to do it from the web, the steps are relatively similar.
- We enter the T-Mobile website and log in with our account.
- Now we are going to click on our name or profile, it is in the upper right corner.
- Next, we will click on Privacy and notifications.
- Here we click on Advertising and analysis. We recommend doing this on every number we have on file.
- We're turning off: Using my data for analytics and reporting and Using my data to make ads more relevant to me.
All customers are affected by this new policy. Sprint customers should call customer service through their Contact form or send an email to [email protected] . Metro by t-Mobile customers can follow the steps discussed above from their account profile. The only people who can't turn these options off at this time are those who access the T-Mobile network through a Google Fi plan..
