Your phone is designed to make it easy for you to access a wide variety of content. For
your protection, we want you to be aware that some applications that you enable may
involve the location of your phone being shared. For applications available through
Cricket, we offer privacy controls that let you decide how an application may use
the location of your phone and other phones on your account. However, the Cricket
privacy tools do not apply to applications available outside of Cricket. Please review the
terms and conditions and the associated privacy policy for each location-based service
to learn how location information will be used and protected. In addition, your Cricket
phone may be used to access the internet and to download, and/or purchase goods,
applications, and services from Cricket or elsewhere from third parties. Cricket provides
tools for you to control access to the Internet and certain Internet content. These
controls may not be available for certain devices which bypass Cricket controls.
