Business-to-Business (B2B) Privacy Notice

Overview

We’re working hard to earn your trust. A big part of that is maintaining your privacy. You deserve transparency, education, choice, protection, and simplicity. Our goal is to help you take action to protect your privacy. 

Scope

This privacy notice (“notice”) covers individuals who have a business relationship with T-Mobile, such as vendors and corporate sponsors, in their business interactions with T-Mobile—and it also covers individual end users who use T-Mobile’s products and/or services for business purposes. This notice also applies to T-Mobile for Business, T-Mobile DevEdge Platform, and T-Mobile for Government—referred to collectively in this notice as “TfB” customers.

TfB is a division within T-Mobile that provides wireless services, products, and solutions to corporate and government organizations. Those organizations are TfB customers, who assign lines of service to individuals, mainly employees, within their organizations. For the purposes of this notice, the term “TfB customer” includes the following: 

The corporate or governmental entity receiving and paying for the T-Mobile services, products, and solutions.
The corporate or governmental entity’s “authorized users,” who manage the entity’s TfB account.
The corporate or governmental entity’s end users, who are the individuals to whom the entity assigns individual line numbers to as part of the entity’s account.

In this notice, “business contacts” refers to any individual who interacts with T-Mobile in a business context, such as a vendor, sponsor, or TfB customer.

This notice does not cover:

People who use T-Mobile’s products or services directly as an individual customer or interact with T-Mobile in a non-business context or online, such as browsing T-Mobile’s website. To learn more about how we collect and use information related to those types of interactions, including your interactions online on T-Mobile sites, please see our T-Mobile Privacy Notice.
United States job applicants. To learn more about how we collect and use information when you apply for a job with us in the U.S., or for our recruiting purposes, please see our T-Mobile Applicant Privacy Notice.
United States T-Mobile employees or contractors during employment with T-Mobile. To learn more about how we collect and use information from our United States employees and contractors during employment, please see our T-Mobile Employee and Contractor Privacy Notice.
The use of T-Mobile’s products or services we provide to school districts for educational purposes, such as under Project 10Million. To learn more about how we collect and use information from school children as part of these programs, please see our Project 10Million Privacy Notice.

What’s in this notice

For the individuals described above, this notice explains how T-Mobile and our subsidiaries and representatives ("T-Mobile" or “we” or “us”) collect, use, and share your personal data.

This notice applies to personal data we have about you that identifies, relates to, describes, can be associated with, or could reasonably identify you as an individual, in the context of your business interactions with T-Mobile, such as managing your employer’s corporate or government T-Mobile account or representing a vendor that provides T-Mobile with services. This notice also applies to sensitive personal data, a category of personal data. Sensitive personal data includes things like your social security number and account log-in credentials.

Some products and services have their own privacy notice because T-Mobile collects or uses personal data in a different way for those products and services. To see the whole list, visit our Privacy Notices. If this notice conflicts with a privacy notice for a specific product or service, the product or service notice applies.

This notice does not apply to data that is not personal, like anonymous, de-identified, or aggregated data (for example, summary statistics), even if it comes from personal data.

For example, when you contact us by phone, we have procedures in place to verify that you have the authority to access your information, make changes to your account, or adjust your business relationship with T-Mobile.

We can’t guarantee our safeguards will prevent every unauthorized attempt to access, use, or disclose personal data. Be sure to use a strong password to access your information and not one you use for other services. You should also use multi-factor authentication where possible. 

Privacy rights and data choices

We offer everyone choices about their personal data. Please note that your choices may vary depending on the laws that apply. Choices and contact methods may differ depending on where you reside and for TfB customers. To exercise your data choices, please visit the Privacy Dashboard online or contact us via phone. Your choices include:

Access, delete, and correct

Access

To see the personal data we may have collected about you, visit our Personal data request page and choose the category that best describes your relationship with T-Mobile. We’ll walk you through the next steps. Once we receive your request and confirm your identity, we’ll disclose to you:

The categories of personal data we have collected
Specific pieces of personal data we have collected
Our business or commercial purposes for collecting, selling, or sharing personal data
The sources from which we collect personal data
The types of third parties we share personal data with

T-Mobile provides this information, where possible, in a format you can read, use, and transfer to other entities. Some sensitive data may be redacted or hidden for your security.

Delete

To delete the personal data we may have collected about you, visit our Personal data request page and choose the category that best describes your relationship with T-Mobile. We’ll show you how to proceed.

Please note that we may not be able to delete all your personal data because certain exceptions may apply. For example, we may keep personal data that is necessary to bill you for services, detect security problems, or to comply with laws. If you request that we delete your personal data, we might not be able to offer some services to you or they might not work the way they’re supposed to or that you’re used to.

Correct

To correct or make changes to the personal data we may have about you, visit our Personal data request page and choose the category that best describes your relationship with T-Mobile. Follow the directions to correct your personal information. If you’re an authorized user who manages a T-Mobile for Business or T-Mobile for Government account, you can also update the personal data in that account directly through your account portal.

Authorized agents

An authorized agent may submit an access, deletion, or correction request on your behalf.
They should visit our Personal data request page and choose the category that best describes your relationship with T-Mobile.

To protect your data, we’ll ask you to verify your own identity before we fulfill the request submitted by the agent. All communications will be sent directly to you, our business partner, and not the agent.

Verification of your identity 

We verify your identity before processing your request. If we can’t verify your identity, we’ll have to deny your request. This is to protect you.

To verify your identity, we’ll need information from you, like your email address and phone number. We may also ask to see your government ID, along with a current digital photo of your face so we can ensure the photo ID truly belongs to you.

Appeal

Sometimes we can’t comply with your request. When that happens, residents of certain states are entitled to submit an appeal. Instructions for how to submit your appeal will be included in our response explaining why we couldn’t comply.

If you have questions about these choices, please read our privacy FAQs.

Of course, if you do exercise any of these rights, T-Mobile will not treat you any differently. You can exercise your personal data rights within our Privacy Dashboard. 

For information about how we comply with state-specific privacy requirements, see the T-Mobile Privacy Notice.

Data retention

We retain your personal data for business or tax needs, or legal reasons. We set our retention periods based on things like the type of personal data, the business purpose for which it was collected, and legal obligations to retain certain kinds of personal data.

Future changes

We keep this privacy notice up to date. When we make changes, we’ll let you know by including the date of the update at the top of this page. If you continue interacting with us in a business context or continue to use our products and services after we notify you, we’ll take that to mean you’re fine with the changes for any new data we collect. Those changes will not apply to previously collected personal data unless we get consent from impacted individuals.
