Verizon Wants To Share Your Personal Information
hyades1 writes “Gizmodo reports that Verizon is sending out notification letters infested with virtually-indecipherable legalese. In their sneaky, underhanded way, they’re informing you that you have 45 days to opt out of their plan to share your personal data with ‘affiliates, agents and parent companies.’ That data can include, but isn’t limited to, ‘services purchased (including specific calls you make and receive), billing info, technical info and location info.’ If you view your statement on-line, you won’t even get the letter. You’ll have to access your account and view your messages. However, Read Write Web says the link provided there, called the ‘Customer Proprietary Network Information Notice,’ was listed as ‘not available.’ No doubt Verizon would like to reassure you that everyone they’re going to hand your personal data over to will have your best interests at heart.”
