Verizon wants to monitor your web habits, if this bothers you -- opt out

Priacy policies. A touchy subject for some and if you're a Verizon customer who is concerned with such things you'll want to make sure you're up-to-date on some new privacy policy changes happening.

Verizon has updated some of their terms this week and those updates, now state that Verizon will use your info for "certain business and marketing reports" and for "making mobile ads you see more relevant." In other words, Verizon will be tracking URLs of websites you visit and also your device's location data while sharing it with outside companies. Doesn't sound all that great does it?

Verizon does however offer you the option to opt out if you visit their privacy policy page and make some changes. The page has two different places where you can check "Don't use my information" for any or all of your Verizon cell numbers.

Having the option to opt out is great! Having been opted in by default -- not so great. If you're not down with Verizon doing this, then make sure you opt out as soon as possible.

Done.

BTW, there are THREE sections in the privacy area that need to be

checked. Each section has its own "Save Changes" button you have

to click after changing the setting.

:rolleyes: people like you kill me. and that's not the point. they don't need to see it period.

you should be alarmed as to why they want to.

do you let a stranger have a look in your wallet too?

I dont even own a wallet. And if they want to see my web history of fetish porn and google searches for speghetti shops they can have at it.

Im only showing 2?
found my third one. I shows it + but it was showing, and he to + it.

Yeah, they are...

- Customer Proprietary Network Information Settings

- Business & Marketing Reports

- Relevant Mobile Advertising

And there is actually a 4th but I didn't have anything there...

- Location Based Services ("LBS") Privacy Settings

Apparently the LBS is only active if you have some software

installed on your phone that uses the LBS, like Navigator I think.
