If you live in California, you can ask Verizon to tell you what data it has about you, delete it, correct it, or stop sharing it for advertising, and Verizon is legally required to respond; these rights are enforceable under California law.

"If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect about you, the right to delete personal information we have collected from you, the right to correct inaccurate personal information, the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, and the right to limit use and disclosure of sensitive personal information.— Excerpt from Verizon's Verizon Privacy Policy
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: These rights are mandated by the CCPA as amended by the CPRA, enforced by the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) and the California AG. The policy's enumeration of these rights must align precisely with the statutory definitions and response timelines in the CPRA, including 45-day response windows and two permitted 45-day extensions. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. Failure to honor any enumerated right — access, deletion, correction, opt-out of sale or sharing, or sensitive data limitation — exposes Verizon to enforcement by the CPPA and private right of action in the event of a qualifying data breach. The volume of requests a carrier of Verizon's scale may receive creates operational compliance challenges. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: These rights apply exclusively to California residents under state law. Other states with similar rights frameworks include Colorado (CPA), Connecticut (CTDPA), Virginia (VCDPA), Texas (TDPSA), and others; Verizon may need to honor analogous rights in those states under their respective laws. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Deletion and opt-out requests must flow through to service providers and contractors processing data on Verizon's behalf; vendor contracts should include clauses obligating downstream deletion and opt-out propagation. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should audit request intake processes, response timelines, identity verification procedures, and the technical mechanisms for propagating opt-out and deletion requests to all data systems and third-party partners.
