T-Mobile\u2019s advertising business is offering a new way for marketers to pry into your app-using habits. Ad Exchanger<\/em><\/a> reports that the un-carrier\u2019s new program is called App Insights, and it\u2019s now fully operational after spending a year in beta<\/a>. The program allows third-party marketers to buy T-Mobile customer data and centers around a key piece of information that it has unique access to: what apps you use.<\/p>\n

Customer data is anonymized, and it\u2019s pooled together with others of similar interests and behaviors, so companies can\u2019t buy a specific user\u2019s app history. Still, it\u2019s creepy. The company\u2019s advertising segment touts this offering loud and clear on its website<\/a>, with the phrase \u201cApps speak louder than words\u201d splashed across the top of the page. It also invites prospective clients to \u201cleverage app insights, the strongest indicator of consumer intent.\u201d That\u2019s gross. Thankfully, you can opt out.<\/p>\n

Ah, that old adage. <\/em><\/figcaption>Image: T-Mobile Advertising Solutions<\/cite><\/p>\n

T-Mobile offers an Android<\/a> and iOS app<\/a> called \u201cMagenta Marketing Platform Choices\u201d that allows you to see which companies have your data and opt out entirely. You can also use App Choices<\/a> if you don\u2019t want to, you know, download a T-Mobile app<\/em> to opt out of T-Mobile app tracking. According to Ad Exchanger, <\/em>iOS users are excluded from the program even if they\u2019ve opted in to app tracking.<\/p>\n

This kind of creepy behavior from carriers<\/a> isn\u2019t new, and it\u2019s not likely to get better. With companies like Google<\/a> and Apple<\/a> allowing people to opt out of tracking more easily, marketers are looking for different ways to peek into your online habits. Wireless carriers have eagerly jumped in to provide that information, and T-Mobile is only the latest to do so. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
