   With more than a hundred million subscribers in the USA, T-Mobile USA   
   — the largest subsidiary of the German company Deutsche Telekom —   
   collects more personal information about more people in the USA than   
   any other U.S. subsidiary of a parent corporation based in the   
   European Union. T-Mobile USA is thus the single most important test of   
   the applicability to EU-based companies’ U.S. subsidiaries of European   
   data protection rules and the privacy and data protection promises   
   made by European multinational companies on behalf of their worldwide   
   subsidiaries.   
      
   This matters because European laws and the stated policies of European   
   companies like Deutsche Telekom typically claim to provide much better   
   privacy protection than U.S. laws. People in the U.S. like me who care   
   about privacy often chose to give our business to European companies,   
   which often operate in the U.S. through subsidiary corporations they   
   control, in order to obtain greater protection for our personal   
   information than if we dealt with U.S.-based companies. But do these   
   European companies practice what they preach?
