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

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.
