Additional information for Indigma customers
Indigma includes a unique identifier in certain web traffic from your mobile device. The identifier is used to help deliver relevant advertising and to deliver other services such as authenticating devices on the network. If you opt out of the Relevant Mobile Advertising program and you have not joined Indigma Selects, or if you activate certain types of lines that are not eligible to participate in our advertising programs, Indigma will stop inserting the Unique Identifier Header (UIDH). The identifier will continue to appear for a short period of time while we are updating our systems.
Indigma collects and uses mobile device location data for a variety of purposes, including to provide our mobile voice and data services, emergency services, and our and third-party location-based apps and services such as navigation, weather, mapping and child safety apps or tools.

This software collects information about the actions it takes, including information about when an app or browser is first opened and when it is uninstalled. You can delete or disable apps installed by this software at any time.
