AT&T

​

The Terms of Service and Privacy Policy that govern AT&T's network landing page are not the end of your relationship with AT&T, and as we have seen with many service providers, registered users or account holders will have additional terms. Interestingly, the limit on liability is $100, or about what two months of service would cost for a cell phone. Another similarity with AT&T and other large companies is the broad sharing agreement in place across services. Third-parties have more restrictions on data sharing, but if the data is aggregated, then it flows freely to just about anyone that pays.
