Verizon updated a section heading in their privacy policy on June 6, 2026 to explicitly reference data retention. The previous heading asked 'How does Verizon protect my information, and how do I update my account details?' The updated heading adds a new question: 'How does Verizon protect my information, how long does Verizon retain my information and how do I update my account details?' This signals that the policy now includes a dedicated explanation of data retention timelines, whereas the previous heading did not explicitly flag this topic.
