Change Summary
Verizon revised its privacy policy in an update detected on August 28, 2026, modifying how it describes data collection, use, and sharing practices. The updated language expands the stated purposes for using information about you to include eligibility determination for discounts and employment-related offers, adds new use cases for partner information (such as Verizon Dollars rewards), and clarifies that information obtained from third parties may be used for creditworthiness assessment and marketing contact. The policy also removed references to Verizon Community profiles and added a new privacy choices page for AI Skills for America users.
