DEFINITIONS
Let's start with what we mean when we say:
Aggregate Information:
We combine individual information into anonymous groups of customers or users. One
way to think of it is in terms of a survey or opinion poll. Aggregate information would tell you that 80 percent of
the people voted for a candidate, but not who actually voted. These groups are large enough to reasonably
prevent individuals from being identified.
Anonymous Information:
Information that doesn't directly identify and can't reasonably be used to identify an
individual customer or user.
AT&T:
Throughout this Policy, references to “AT&T,” “we,” “us,” and “our” include the family of AT&T companies
around the world except affiliates who have a separate privacy policy.
Customer:
Anyone who purchases or uses our products or services. When a customer purchases retail products
or services for use by others, like a family account, those family members also are customers.
Mobile Application:
A software application that runs on smartphones, tablet computers or other mobile devices
and that allows users to access a variety of services and information.
Personal Information:
Information that directly identifies or reasonably can be used to figure out the identity of
a customer or user, such as your name, address, phone number and e-mail address. Personal Information does not
include published listing information.
Relevant Advertising:
Creates aggregate audience segments based on non-personally identifiable information
about customers (like age, ethnicity, income range, a particular geographic area, and their interests) to serve
advertising that is more likely to be useful to those audience segments. “Online behavorial advertising” is one type
of Relevant Advertising. It uses interest categories based on the websites visited by people who are not personally
identified to deliver advertising online.
User:
Anyone who visits our websites or uses our mobile applications.
Website:
And other terms like “Internet site,” “site” and “web page” all mean the same thing, namely any page or
location on the Internet, no matter what device (cell phone, tablet, laptop, PC, etc.) or protocol (http, WAP, ftp or
other) is used to access the page or location.
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SCOPE OF THIS POLICY
1. To whom does the Policy apply?
This Privacy Policy applies to customers and users of AT&T products, and services, except customers and
users of products or services provided by an affiliate with a different privacy policy.
2. What does this Policy cover?
This Privacy Policy covers our practices regarding the information we collect about our customers and users
(how we collect it and how we use it). Use of our products and services, as well as visits to our websites, are
subject to this Privacy Policy.
3. Do you have any Privacy Policies other than this one?
Yes. Some AT&T affiliates may have separate privacy policies that describe how they collect, use and share
information they collect from their customers and users. When we share Personal Information with those
affiliates we require them to protect it in a way consistent with this Privacy Policy.
Additionally, some of our applications may have terms and conditions that describe other privacy commitments
or choices in addition to those in this Privacy Policy.
Some areas outside the United States require us to work a little differently. In that case, we may adopt
separate privacy policies as necessary to reflect the requirements of applicable local laws. Satellite TV
subscribers in certain U.S. Territories also may have separate privacy policies.
The Joint AT&T EchoStar Privacy Policy for AT&T|DISH Network Customer Account Information remains in
effect for AT&T|DISH subscribers.
4. What about my family members and other users of my AT&T account? Does this Policy apply to them?
Yes. You’re responsible for making sure all family members or other users under your account understand
and agree to this Policy. Get everyone together and talk about it. Or, send it by e-mail to make sure they’re
on board. Hang it on the fridge. Up to you, just share it!
5. When is information not covered by this Policy?
If you purchase or use the products or services of an AT&T affiliate that has a different privacy policy than
this one, that privacy policy will apply.
Additionally, this Privacy Policy does not apply any time you give information to companies other than AT&T.
Some examples are:
o When you use a non-AT&T Wi-Fi service;
o When you download applications or make purchases from other companies while using our Internet
or wireless services;
