Verizon Privacy Policy (Summary)

Verizon collects a wide range of information about you—including your location, your credit and demographic profile from other companies, and how you use its services—and may share it within Verizon, with affiliated companies, and with third-party advertisers through optional programs. You have choices about whether Verizon uses your information for marketing, advertising, and verification purposes, but Verizon only has to give you a new opportunity to update those choices if it makes a substantially different change to how it uses or shares your identifying information. You may also have additional privacy rights depending on the state you live in.

This Verizon Privacy Policy establishes the categories of personal information Verizon collects—including directly provided data, device and location data, usage and interaction data, and third-party sourced credit, demographic, and interest profiles—and the bases on which that information is used and disclosed. Verizon shares user information within its corporate family including affiliates, with third parties under optional advertising and identity-verification programs, and pursuant to legal compliance obligations or legal requests. Users are granted choices over marketing contact methods, internal marketing data sharing, and use of their information for advertising, insights, and verification programs. Verizon's obligation to offer users a renewed choice is triggered only when it changes how it uses or discloses identifying information in a way that is substantially different. The policy also acknowledges that users may hold additional privacy rights under the Cable Act and applicable state laws.

Verizon collects your location data, usage information, and profiles obtained from third-party companies, and shares that data within its corporate family and with external advertisers and identity-verification partners through optional programs. Your information may also be disclosed in response to legal requests or for legal compliance without your consent. You have the concrete ability to opt out of Verizon's use of your information for its advertising and insights programs, for verification purposes, and for internal marketing—you can exercise those choices through Verizon's stated opt-out mechanisms for each program.
