591We may also share personal data described throughout this Privacy Notice in the following situations:
592
593- **Account holders.** We may share personal data about an account user to the account holder (the party financially responsible for the account). The primary account holder may also authorize other users to access account information. If a business, governmental agency, or other individual obtains services for you, that entity or individual is our customer, and we may provide personal data about you or your use of our products and services to them or, if they tell us to, others.
594
595- **Affiliates and business transactions and acquisitions.** We may share personal data with our other companies (e.g., sister companies, or other companies under common control). If another company purchases, or plans to buy, our company, or things that we own, we may also share personal data with that company, including at the beginning stage of the purchase.
596
597- **Caller ID providers.** We may share your phone number and name with third parties to enable Caller ID and similar services across multiple carriers when you make a call. You can ask us to exclude your name from Caller ID by calling customer service at the number provided below. You can also block your number from being displayed temporarily on non-emergency calls. [**Learn how to block your number**](https://www.t-mobile.com/resources/how-to-block-your-number).
598
599- **Data collected for specific purposes.** The content in the [**Data we collect**](https://www.t-mobile.com/content/digx/tmobile/us/en/privacy-center/privacy-notices/t-mobile-privacy-notice.html) section discusses how we share information in connection with specific contexts.
600- **Sharing with your consent.** We may share personal data with other third parties when we have your consent or direction to do so.
601- **Other sharing you can opt out of.** Go to the [**Your choices**](https://www.t-mobile.com/privacy-center/privacy-notices/t-mobile-privacy-notice.html) section of this notice to learn about disclosures you can opt out of.
602- **Other sharing without your consent.** We may share personal data in connection with any legal process, to respond to emergencies, to enforce our agreements, to defend ourselves, to collect payment, to comply with laws, to investigate possible illegal activities or a violation of our policies, terms and conditions, and to protect the rights, interests, safety, or property of T-Mobile, you, and others, including to detect and help protect against fraud, abuse, security incidents, and other unauthorized activities.
603- **Professional services.** We may share personal data with our professional service providers, like our auditors or lawyers.
604
605Some disclosures (like information from third-party cookies on our website) could be considered a "sale" under Rhode Island law. We maintain a **[list of third-party companies](https://www.t-mobile.com/privacy-center/privacy-notices/t-mobile-privacy-notice/third-party-list)** to whom we regularly disclose data of Rhode Island residents in ways that might be considered a "sale."
606
607## Your choices
608
609We offer you certain choices related to your personal data:
610
611- **Access.** You may request access to your personal data or confirmation that we have data about you. We will provide access to your data in a portable and machine-readable format. For multi-line accounts, the individual in charge of your account that submits an access request will receive account-level data for all lines on the account (e.g., billing and rate plan information). Personal data associated with a particular phone number on the account will not be shared with them. If you're not in charge of the account, you'll only see data that is associated with your phone number.
612- **Analytics and Reporting.** You may opt out of having the data from your T-Mobile device aggregated as part of our Analytics and Reporting program by going to our [**Privacy Dashboard**](https://www.t-mobile.com/privacy-center/dashboard).
613- **Changes.** Most of our websites allow you to change your account profile. For changes that can't be made through your account profile, you can request that we correct your personal data.
614- **Deletion.** You may request that we delete your personal data. Note that in many situations we must keep some of your personal data for our business purposes, like providing service to you, detecting security problems, or complying with our legal obligations.
615- **Marketing emails or texts.** You can adjust your marketing communication preferences in our [**Privacy Dashboard**](https://www.t-mobile.com/privacy-center/dashboard). To learn more, read the [**Your marketing preferences**](https://www.t-mobile.com/privacy-center/education/marketing-preferences.html) article.
616- **Do Not Sell or Share.** You may opt out of having your data sold or shared by us, which includes having it used for targeted advertising or for third parties to use for direct marketing or similar uses, by going to our [**Privacy Dashboard**](https://www.t-mobile.com/privacy-center/dashboard) or using the "Do Not Share or Sell My Personal Information" link on our websites or apps. If you've opted in to our Personalized Ads and Offers or Tailored Offers and Ads programs, you may also need to withdraw your consent via the Privacy Dashboard to be removed from those programs. We recognize the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal broadcast from certain web browsers as an opt-out request, but we don't recognize the "do not track" signal because there isn't a universal standard for how to apply it. Read our [**Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information**](https://www.t-mobile.com/privacy-center/education/do-not-sell.html) article for more information.
617- **Fraud & identity theft protection.** You may opt out of having your data shared with third parties for the purposes of detecting and protecting against fraud, identity theft, and other unauthorized transactions, by going to our [**Privacy Dashboard**](https://www.t-mobile.com/privacy-center/dashboard).
618- **Sharing certain financial information.** If we use your data to manage financial offerings, like device financing or postpaid service, you can tell us not to share certain personal information from those financial products, which may include your payment history and account balances. Make your privacy choices using our [**Privacy Dashboard**](https://www.t-mobile.com/privacy-center/dashboard). See our [**Financial Privacy Notice**](https://www.t-mobile.com/privacy-center/privacy-notices/financial-privacy-notice) for more information.
619- **Profiling and automated decisions.** You can tell us not to use your personal data for certain kinds of "profiling" that we might do in the future by visiting our [**Privacy Dashboard**](https://www.t-mobile.com/privacy-center/dashboard) to opt out. "Profiling" is a specific type of activity under certain privacy laws and generally refers to the automated processing of personal data to evaluate, analyze, or predict certain personal aspects about your performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements. You can opt out of having profiling used for future decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects on you.
620
621These choices may not apply in every circumstance. In some cases, we might limit or deny your request because the law allows or requires us to do so. We might also deny your request if we can't verify who you are. We won't discriminate against you for making one of these choices.
622
623To make an access, change, or deletion request please [**submit a personal data request**](https://www.t-mobile.com/privacy-center/personal-data-request.html). We're required to verify your identity before we can give you access to, change, or delete your personal data. So, you'll need to provide some data for us to do the verification. This includes your email address and phone number, or your T-Mobile ID and password. If you don't have a T-Mobile ID, you may need to provide your U.S. driver's license, state ID, or passport. We may also need a photo of your face so we can ensure the photo ID belongs to you. In some cases, you may designate an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf.
624
625If you disagree with our denial of a request, you may be entitled to submit an appeal. If that's the case, we'll include instructions for how to submit your appeal in our response.
626
627We won't use, disclose, sell, or permit access to Maine broadband "customer personal information" unless you give us permission, or it's allowed by Maine law. If you're a Maine customer, you have rights you can exercise in our [**Privacy Dashboard**](https://www.t-mobile.com/privacy-center/dashboard).
628
629Under California's Shine the Light law, California customers may request information about whether a business has disclosed personal data (as defined in that law) to any third parties for their direct marketing purposes. We don't do that without your permission.
630
