Verizon makes changes to its privacy policy

Verizon makes changes to its privacy policy

For Verizon customers: just in case you haven't noticed or haven't bothered to pay attention, the carrier has recently made a significant change to its privacy policy for mobile users this week. Its privacy policy now mentions that in order to help out “certain business and marketing reports” as well as “making mobile ads you see more relevant” the carrier will be obtaining information from your mobile surfing habits. While it's important to know that none of the data taken can be used to personally identify you, the fact that it automatically opts users into agreeing with the change has some people irked.
