Verizon doesn't even try very hard to steal your personal data

 Here's an example of a predatory, abusive use of positive option invasions of privacy.  It has all the elements--based around a failed attempt to position data theft as a customer benefit.  Aren't you ashamed to work for a company like this?

They've been doing this all along, of course.  This is just an attempt to cover over the illegalities under some state privacy laws. 

Introducing Verizon Custom Experience.    It’s your experience, tailored to your interests. Hi David, At Verizon, we believe being America’s most reliable network comes with a responsibility to safeguard and protect your information. Your privacy is important to us, and we want to let you know about a new choice you have regarding how we use your information. We’d like to introduce Verizon Custom Experience, a program designed to provide you more personalized experiences with Verizon. You will be part of Custom Experience unless you opt out.

How it works The program uses information about websites you visit and apps you use on your mobile device to help us better understand your interests. This helps us personalize our communications with you, give you more relevant product and service recommendations, and develop plans, services and offers that are more appealing to you. To be very clear, this information is used only by Verizon; we do not sell this information to others for them to use for their own advertising.

You’re in control Your line will be included in the Custom Experience program in 30 days unless you opt-out by using your privacy preferences on the My Verizon site or My Verizon app. You can view and change your choices at any time. More information is available in our program FAQs.
