Why it matters

GPC provides a technical shortcut for consumers to assert their privacy rights without manually submitting opt-out requests, but only works if the company fully honors it.

Consumer impact

Verizon collects extensive personal data including precise location, network usage, browsing history, and device identifiers, which may be used for targeted advertising and shared with third-party partners. Consumers enrolled by default in programs like Custom Experience Plus may have their web browsing and app usage analyzed for advertising purposes without explicit awareness. You can opt out of Verizon's Custom Experience and Custom Experience Plus programs by visiting verizon.com/privacy or calling 1-800-333-9956.

Applicable agencies

  • State AG
    California's CPRA explicitly requires businesses to honor the GPC signal as a valid opt-out of sale and sharing of personal information.
