What it is

Verizon shares your personal data with its subsidiary companies, advertising partners, and other third parties for marketing and business purposes, not just to deliver your service.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Your personal information — including usage patterns, location, and contact details — is shared with Verizon's many subsidiary brands and outside advertising partners, expanding the number of entities that hold and use your data.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

Broad data sharing with affiliates and advertising partners means your personal information travels far beyond Verizon's own systems, increasing the risk of data misuse, breaches, and targeted exploitation.

View original clause language
We share information within the Verizon family of companies and with third parties. We share information with service providers and partners who work on our behalf, and with other companies for joint marketing or advertising. We may also share information in connection with a business transfer, for legal purposes, or to protect rights and property.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: CPRA §1798.140(ag) defines 'third party' and 'service provider' with distinct data use restrictions; sharing with third parties for advertising triggers opt-out rights under §1798.120. FTC Act Section 5 applies to deceptive representations about data sharing scope. If health or financial data flows to affiliates, HIPAA (45 C.F.R. Parts 160, 164) or GLBA (15 U.S.C. § 6801) may be implicated. 2)
