4.4 Location Based and 911 Services
We may use your location information to allow emergency services to locate your general location. We may disclose the approximate location of a wireless device to a governmental entity or law enforcement authority when we are served with a court order or subpoena, if we reasonably believe there is an emergency involving risk of death or serious physical harm, or as otherwise permitted by applicable law.
Depending on your device, you may also be able to obtain a wide array of service based on the location of your device (for example, driving directions, enhanced 411
Directory Assistance or search results, etc.). These data services, known as Location Based Services (“LBS”) are made available by us and other entities, usually via applications. These services use various location technologies and acquire location data from various sources. These applications and services use various location technologies (including Global Positioning Satellite (“GPS”), Assisted GPS (“AGPS”), cell ID and enhanced cell ID technologies) to identify the approximate location of a device, which is then used in conjunction with the application to enhance the user’s experience (for example, to provide driving directions, to provide enhanced 411 Directory Assistance or search results, etc.).
LBS may, or may not, involve any interaction with or dependency on our supplier’s network, and Location-Based Services may or may not look to our network to obtain location data. Where our network supplier allows third parties the capability of accessing data about your location that is derived from our supplier’s network, our network supplier requires those third parties to observe specific privacy and security protections consistent with this policy.
It is important that you understand the location capabilities and settings of your device, and that you carefully read and understand the terms under which these services are provided – whether by us or another entity. You should carefully review the privacy
policies and other terms of third parties with whom you have authorized the sharing of your location information, and you should consider the risks involved in disclosing your location information to other people. Where we provide a Location-Based Service, you will receive notice of the location features of the service and collection of location data is with your consent. You will be provided options for managing when and how such information should be shared.
