Get details on our customer commitment for device handling

Your privacy is important to you and to us. We’re committed to providing you control over your personal information.


When we help you troubleshoot, transfer data, or fix other issues, we’re committed to keeping your account and device data safe.

  • We won’t access, open, or view personal info on your device. This includes photos, emails, text messages, call or location history, voicemail, and apps.
  • We won’t transfer, back up, or copy any data from your phone to any system or equipment owned or operated by AT&T, AT&T representatives, or anyone else.
  • Before we complete a factory reset or other action that may delete your data, we will have you do one of two things:
    • Confirm you have a current back-up.
    • Give us permission to delete the data without a back-up.

Good to know: All AT&T representatives are required to follow our security policies and processes.

  • Close all apps with personal info before someone takes possession of your device. This includes photos, emails, text messages, call or location history, voicemail, and apps.
