Effective date: April 23, 2013

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Our privacy policy has been updated to reflect that Boost Mobile will be introducing two new programs: 1) Mobile Advertising – to make the mobile ads you see on your device more relevant to you (You must opt in to this program) and 2) Reporting & Analytics – to create and share certain business and marketing reports (You may opt out of this program). We will not share any information that identifies you personally under either of these new programs. For detailed information on these programs and to learn how to opt in or out, please visit boostmobile.com/privacy.

This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes how Boost Mobile (“Boost”) will collect, access, use or disclose your personal information. It applies to all of our products, services and websites (“Services”). A few of our Services may be covered by different privacy policies and in the event of a conflict between the two, the product or service specific policy governs. Our collection, use, access, disclosure and safeguarding of your personal information is subject to U.S. law.

Information Collected

There are several ways in which Boost Mobile collects personal and other information about you. Personal information is information that identifies or is associated with a specific person, such as a name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, or information about activities directly linked to that person. Personal information does not include information that is not used to identify you, including aggregate or anonymous information.

Information you give us:  You may give us information in a variety of ways, including when you sign up for or use Boost Services, communicate with customer care or register on boostmobile.com.  For example, you may provide us your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, date of birth, social security number or other government identification number, demographic information, activities, location information and personal preferences. Third-party providers whose sites are featured on and accessed via our website may collect information as well. Such collection and use of your information is governed by the third party's privacy policy.

If we have trouble processing your order, the contact information you provide is used to get in touch with you. We also use this contact information to provide you with updates regarding your current phone or service and to provide you with information about Boost Mobile promotions and special offers.

Boost Mobile may offer the opportunity to participate in contests, giveaways, or other similar promotions we sponsor. Except as explained otherwise in the rules for a particular contest, giveaway, or promotion, any personal information you provide will be used in accordance with this Policy.

Information we automatically collect:  We automatically receive certain types of information whenever you use our Services. We may collect information about your device such as the type, version of operating system, signal strength, and whether it is on and how it is functioning, as well as information about how you use the device and services available through it, such as your call and data usage and history, your location, web sites you have visited, applications purchased, downloaded or used and other similar information.  We may link information we collect with personal information, such as information you give us at registration and check out. We may use systems or tools to follow your use of our Services and other applications, including using cookies, web beacons and other mechanisms, along with analysis of network and device information. For example, we allow collection by analytic service provider(s) of site click-stream and cookie data to help us track aggregate and individual use of our Services. We sometimes use cookies to enable features on our sites, such as the ability to save your shopping cart or set preferences.  Advertisers and ad networks that serve ads on our sites may also use their own mechanisms, including cookies.  These third party cookies or tools are governed by the privacy policies of the entities placing the ads and not by this policy.

Information from other sources:  We may obtain information about you from outside sources and add it to or combine it with your account information. For example, we often receive information from the retailer from whom you purchased your Boost Mobile phone or device prior to initiating service with us. We also may use commercially available demographic and marketing information from third parties to help us better serve you or inform you about products or services that we think will be of interest to you.

Boost Mobile's Use of Personal Information

We use personal information for a variety of purposes, including providing you with Services.  We use your personal information to do things like:

Boost's Service Providers.  We may share personal information with third parties who perform services on our behalf.

Disclosures to Third Party Application and Service Providers.  You may choose to use services and products offered by third party providers through our Services or devices such as third party applications.  When you leave our network you may also use mobile roaming services provided by third parties.  Your use of such services and applications may result in these third parties collecting your personal information and obtaining information from Boost, including location information (when applicable). You may also choose to give personal information directly to third parties when using our Services.  In each case,  personal information that you give a third party will be subject to its terms, conditions and policies – not this policy.  You should review a third party's privacy policy and terms of service before providing your information or using the service.

• Conduct market or traffic flow analysis and reporting or produce or facilitate production by others of business and marketing reports to share with third parties. For example, we may aggregate customer information across a particular region and create a report showing that 10,000 subscribers from a given city visited a sports stadium. If you do not wish for us to use your information to produce de-identified and aggregated data sets in the reports we share with third parties, you may opt out at any time. See  boostmobile.com/privacy for details.
