YOUR PROTECTION
# Your privacy around the web.
__Time to read:__ 3 minutes

## Your privacy around the web.
## At a glance
__Start by checking your privacy preferences__ with us at our [__Privacy Dashboard__](https://www.t-mobile.com/privacy-center/dashboard)__.__
__Our privacy settings and policies don’t apply__ when you’re using other websites or third-party apps.
__Use your browser and Global Privacy Control__ to help manage your online privacy.
## Educate yourself
Even though we provide you access to the internet, we can’t control everything you may encounter on the web. When you use devices, apps, and websites that are developed by other companies, called third parties, their privacy policies apply.
For that reason, we recommend you check the privacy preferences on all your devices, apps, search engines, and at every website you visit. Here are a few helpful tips.
## Manage your device
Most devices have controls where you can set your privacy preferences. You can decide whether apps and websites have permission to track your location, gain access to your photos, send personalized ads, and much more.
Be sure to check the settings and permissions for each of your apps and make changes that match your comfort level. You may also consider deleting apps that you don’t need or use.
While it’s important to be aware of your settings, sharing your personal information with third parties via your device can be a good thing. For example, by turning on location-based sharing, you can quickly find a restaurant near you or hail a ride with just a few clicks of an app. Turning off certain settings—like your location for maps—may cause apps to not function as you expect.
## Be internet savvy
Websites and social media companies have their own settings and privacy policies around collecting personal information. Those companies may use or share your personal information to, for example, show you relevant ads when you use their services. Remember, how they collect and handle your personal information is outside of T-Mobile’s control.
Here are a few simple tips to protect yourself when posting and uploading photos on social media sites:
- Be mindful about what personal information you’re sharing and with whom.
- Consider making your social media account private where available.
- Be thoughtful about accepting friend requests.
- Use a unique, strong password for each account.
- Protect your device with a password.
- Check your privacy and ad settings on each platform.
## Understand browser safety
Browsers give you access to the internet, but they can also give the internet access to you. Since each browser is different, be sure to check the “Help” menu of your browser’s settings to learn how to manage your privacy preferences. Here are a few suggestions:
__Updates__
Check often to make sure you have the latest version of your browser.
__Cookies__
You can set your browser to accept or reject cookies. A cookie is a small data file that a website sends to and stores on your browser. It allows the site to track your online activity or store information and/or settings.
__Passwords__
Create strong passwords and enable two-factor authentication. Also, consider using a password manager app rather than letting your browser save passwords for you.
__Websites__
Avoid clicking suspicious-looking links. Check to make sure the web address begins with HTTPS, not HTTP, which indicates a more secure connection. Only download apps and games from reliable sites.
__Search engines__
Consider using a privacy-focused search engine that’s compatible with Global Privacy Control. Read more below.
## Global Privacy Control
You can also take advantage of a service T-Mobile participates in called Global Privacy Control (GPC) that lets you set a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” preference at the browser level.
Download a GPC-enabled browser at the [__Global Privacy Control__](https://globalprivacycontrol.org/) website.
Activate or turn on the GPC setting in the browser or browser extension.
Your browser will send out a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” signal that participating websites, like ours, will respect.
