Personal Information We Collect

Ways you may give us information include when you sign up for, register, use your Phone and Services, or communicate with Customer Care. For starters, we collect things like your:

  • Name
  • Postal address
  • Telephone number
  • Email
  • Birthdate
  • Social security number or other government identification number
  • Demographic information
  • Activities
  • Location information
  • Personal preferences
  • Profile picture

We use the contact information you provide to let you know if your order fails, to provide you with updates regarding your current Phone or Service, and to provide you with information about any promotions or special offers we’ve got going on. We also use it to notify you of certain things. Some of the reasons we might do this are described elsewhere in the Deal.

Also, this Notice will apply to any personal information you give us for entry into a contest, giveaway, or other promotions, unless the rules say otherwise.

If you use our Services or websites to access services provided by others (stuff like social media or other apps), then those providing the services might also collect information. If they do collect any personal information from you, their privacy policy will apply.

Information We Automatically Collect

We automatically collect certain types of information including:

  • Phone Information such as device type, operating system version, signal strength, whether it's on, and how it's functioning.
  • Data about how you use our Products and Services, like call history and other types of Customer Proprietary Network Information, data usage and history, your location, websites you visit, app purchases and downloads, etc.

This stuff helps us hone our Services by taking a look at how people are actually using them.

Cookies and Other Technologies

We and/or other companies we work with may use cookies, web beacons, pixels, tags, and similar technologies on or through our Services, as well as third parties' websites, platforms, and electronic communications to understand users online behavior and to collect certain information, including statistics about website and platform usage, broad demographic information, IP addresses, browser type, device type, Internet Service Provider, referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, number of clicks, and other similar information. We also may use session replay software, which collects information about your interaction with the Services, including keystrokes, mouse movements, and form field entries, and may monitor your interactions with the Services, including for our compliance verification purposes. If you use our website chat function or chatbot function, we collect and store information in connection with your use of that function, including personal identifiers and the content of the chat. You can access our Services even when you’ve disabled certain cookies, but you may not be automatically recognized upon revisiting.

We may link information we automatically collect with other personal information, such as information you give us at registration and checkout. This helps us get a better picture of how you use our Services.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics and Signals in Google Analytics. This updates existing Google Analytics features (advertising reports, remarketing, cross-device reports, and reports on interests and demographics) to provide aggregated and anonymized information about you, provided you have allowed personalized ads in your Google Account. You can learn more about Google’s data practices and your privacy choices by visiting https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/ Google provides an opt-out of Google Analytics by downloading and installing the browser add-on located here https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.

Information From Other Sources

We may get information about you from outside sources, including public sources, and combine it with your account information. For example, we often receive information from the retailer that you purchased your Phone from before you started your Service. We also may use demographic and marketing information we get from third parties to help us better serve you or tell you about products or services we think might interest you.

Children's Information

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 16. You should be aware that if you purchase a Boost device and allow a child under the age of 16 to use it, any information collected from the usage of that device will appear to be your personal information and treated as such under this Notice.

How Long We Keep Your Information

We maintain personal information about you in our regular business records if you’re shopping for our Services and while you are a subscriber to any of our Services. We also maintain personal information about you for a period of time after you are no longer a subscriber to satisfy legal or tax requirements, for fraud prevention, or for business purposes.

How We Use Personal Information

These are some of the ways we use, and sometimes disclose, your personal information:

  • To provide you with the Products and Services you request, to customize or personalize the Products and Services, and to process your orders

Corporate Entities for Business Transfers

We may transfer your personal information if we are involved, whether in whole or in part, in a merger, sale, acquisition, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, bankruptcy, or other change of ownership or control. For example, if another entity acquires us or any of our assets, personal information we have collected may be transferred to such entity. In addition, if any bankruptcy or reorganization proceeding is brought by or against us, personal information we have collected may be considered an asset of ours and may be sold or transferred to third parties. Should such a sale or transfer occur, we will use reasonable efforts to try to require that the transferee use personal information we have collected in connection with the Services in a manner that is consistent with this Notice.

We may be required by law to comply with a valid legal process, such as a subpoena, court order, or search warrant, or where there is a lawful request, to disclose information about you. We may also disclose information about you to protect our customers, employees, or property; in emergency situations; and to enforce our rights under our terms of service and policies, in court or elsewhere.

Disclosure of De-identified or Aggregated Information

We may also tell them certain pieces of demographic information about your household. We will not tell the advertiser which individuals or households watched the advertisement. Advertisers, advertising technology companies, and service providers that perform advertising-related services for us and our business partners may use cookies, web beacons, tags, and other technologies to collect information from or about you to tailor advertisements, measure advertising effectiveness, and enable other enhancements. For more information about advertising, see the “Information We Use for Advertising Purposes” section below.

Group Account Holders

For business and government customers, family customers, and other group account holders ("Group Accounts"), the account holder will have access to certain personal information of others using the account. The account holder is the person that buys the service or product for its employees, family members, or other authorized users.

Other Third Parties With Your Consent

In addition to other ways we say we might disclose your personal information in this Notice, we may share information with others: for reasons we told you about when we collected your personal information; if you request that we do so; or if you give us permission. Use of the information you agree to share will be subject to the separate privacy policies of those we share the information with.

Disclosures to Applications and Services of Others That You Choose to Use

You may choose to use services and products offered by other providers through our Services or devices such as other software applications (like TikTok). When you leave our network, you may also use mobile roaming services not provided by us. If you use those services and applications, those providers may collect your personal information from you and from us, including location information. You may also choose to give personal information directly to others when using our Services. In each case, the terms, conditions, and policies of whoever offers the services or applications will apply, rather than ours.

Information We Use for Advertising Purposes

We may use information about you for marketing or advertising purposes in the following ways:

  • To provide you with advertising for our Services. We may use information we have collected or received from or about you through use of the Service or from third parties to provide you with marketing information, offers and advertisements for our Services or to exclude you from receiving certain marketing information, offers or advertisements. Our activities with respect to such marketing information, offers and advertisements may occur through our Services or third-party websites and platforms.
  • To provide you with more relevant online advertising. We and our advertising partners may also use information obtained about you through your use of our Services or from third parties, or gathered through cookies and similar technologies, to deliver more relevant online advertising to you across other computers, devices, websites, and online services that you may use (“interest-based advertising”). Advertisers, advertising technology companies, and service providers that perform advertising-related services for us and our business partners may use cookies, web beacons, tags, and other technologies to collect information from or about you to tailor advertisements, measure advertising effectiveness, and enable other enhancements. You may be able to opt out of certain types of interest-based advertising as described below in the “Information Choices and Changes” section.
  • To provide others with more relevant advertising. We and our advertising partners may also use information collected from or about you by us or our advertising partners and information we obtain about you from third parties to deliver advertising that is targeted for individuals with similar interests. We may combine aggregated and/or de-identified information to create groups based on actual or assumed shared interests and/or factual characteristics.

Network and Information Security

We use safeguards to protect your personal information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Be sure to use a strong password (no, password123 isn’t a strong password). To be more secure, it’s best if you don’t use the same password that you’re using in other places.

You may also choose, when available, to connect your account with third-party accounts, including with third-party social networks. If you share information about your usage of or activities on our Services with such third-party accounts, then the collection, use, and disclosure of such information will be subject to that third party’s privacy policies, which may differ from our own.
