Verizon to ‘Share Customer Information’
by Wyatt WalterVerizon is reportedly sending out notices to its customers letting them know that they will soon be sharing customer information unless the customer opts out within 45 days. The letter states that information shared will be “services purchased (including specific calls you make and receive), billing info, technical info and location info”. Verizon will be sharing the info with “affiliates, agents, and parent companies”. The kicker here is that by default one is included in the ones whose information will be shared. You have to opt-out in order to not have your information to be shared. Though there’s no solid evidence yet, some reports have said that if you receive your statements electronically that you may have to sign in to your online account to see this information and it could easily be missed.
