The updated policy removes four instances of opt-out guidance that previously directed Verizon Community users to a 'Your Privacy Choices' page.

View change record →The updated policy expands the stated uses of your information. Verizon now explicitly reserves the right to use data to determine your eligibility for employment-related discounts, Verizon Dollars rewards, and service discounts; to assess your creditworthiness and payment risk; and to contact you with marketing offers from partners. The policy previously stated these uses more narrowly or did not list them as discrete purposes. You can review Verizon's privacy choices pages to manage some data uses, including opt-out mechanisms for prescreening and industry-wide credit opt-out options.
