Verizon updated its privacy policy on May 24, 2026 with several changes to how it collects, shares, and uses customer information. The policy now explicitly states it does not use personal information to train large language models, adds language permitting consent requests for marketing different services, and clarifies that text message marketing opt-ins will not be shared with third parties for their own marketing purposes. The policy also expands disclosure language to include 'agents' alongside affiliates, and adds provisions about receiving information from partners when customers purchase partner services.
Consumers: When you agree to receive text messages from Verizon, that agreement stays between you and Verizon and is not passed to other companies.
The updated policy establishes explicit language that Verizon does not collect, use, or sell personal information for the purpose of training large language models. The policy also clarifies that if you opt in to text message marketing, your opt-in consent will not be shared with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing purposes. Additionally, the revised terms indicate Verizon may seek consent before marketing services different from those you currently have, and you can limit the use and disclosure of Customer Proprietary Network Information and certain credit information in response to such requests.
