Consumer impact (what this means for users)

These rights are enforceable and Verizon must respond to your requests within legally mandated timeframes.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Delete Your Data
    California residents should visit Verizon's privacy page and use the CCPA rights portal to submit requests to access, delete, or opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. Responses are required within 45 days.
