This clause creates a user-choice trigger specifically conditioned on material difference from prior policy, meaning non-material changes would not require a choice, and defines the threshold that separates protected from unprotected policy evolution.
Interpretive note: The excerpt ends with '...' so the specific form or mechanism of the 'choice' Verizon will offer is not captured. The second item in what_this_means is logically derived from the materiality threshold stated in the canonical claim and is not a separate proposition introduced from outside the claim.
If Verizon materially changes how it uses or discloses information that identifies you personally—relative to its policy when it collected that information—you will be given a choice about the new use or disclosure before it applies to you.
How other platforms handle this
If we update it, we will do so online, and if we make material changes, we will let you know through the Lyft Platform or by some other method of communication like email and seek your consent where required by applicable laws.
If we make material changes to this Policy, we will notify you via the Services.
If we make material changes to it or the ways we process your information, we'll notify you (by, for example, prominently posting a notice of the changes on our sites before they take effect or directly sending you a notification).
