Subject: Of Course T-Mobile Is Being Shady With Your App Downloads
and Browsing History
The cell service provider's new product bundles info on what apps
you've downloaded with what sites you've visited into a sweet deal for
advertisers.
By Shoshana Wodinsky
In yet another example of T-Mobile being The Worst with its customers
data, the company announced a new money-making scheme this week:
selling its customers app download data and web browsing history to
advertisers.
The package of data is part of the companys new App Insights adtech
product that was in beta for the last year but formally rolled out
this week. According to AdExchanger, which first reported news of the
announcement from the Cannes Festival, the new product will let
marketers track and target T-Mobile customers based on the apps theyve
downloaded and their engagement patternsmeaning when or how often they
open and close particular apps.

Subject: How to opt out of T-Mobile's creepy new data collection
program
By Jacob Siegal
T-Mobile might call itself the Un-carrier, but many of its practices
are identical to those of its competitors. For example, T-Mobile is
happy to sell your data to third-party marketers. In fact, T-Mobile
recently launched a program called App Insights that allows those
marketers to buy user data directly from the carrier.
Ad Exchanger reports that T-Mobile debuted App Insights its app-based
analytics platform last week after a year of beta testing. It allows
marketers to track, segment and target T-Mobile wireless subscribers
based on the apps they have installed on their phone and their
engagement patterns, according to the report.
