This provision establishes the operational framework for California statutory privacy rights, including the right to opt out of sale or sharing of personal information for advertising purposes, which is directly relevant to the Custom Experience and advertising data sharing programs described elsewhere in the policy.
The updated policy removes four instances of opt-out guidance that previously directed Verizon Community users to a 'Your Privacy Choices' page. This removal eliminates a disclosed method for managing privacy preferences within that service. Verizon Community users will no longer have this specific instruction in the published policy to locate opt-out controls.
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.
View change record →Current version adds clarification that collection includes use, sharing, or selling; changes 'delete' to 'request that we delete'; and adds the right not to be discriminated against for exercising privacy rights; uses conditional language 'may have' instead of 'have'.
