Bad news for privacy of Paranoids: Verizon Wireless is the monitoring of the Web-browsing habits of customers, and plans to sell the data in aggregate.
Under Verizon's new privacy policy such as Computerworld, noted the carrier collects data on the websites, the customer visit, the apps that use it and the location of mobile phones. Verizon used to sell the data collected for "Business and marketing reports" and relevant advertising.
(More: federal judge: no arrest?) (No location data)
Verizon, for example, a report on how many of the male customers of sports sites could visit created in a given month, or it could only can a local restaurant, can I use close to customers.
Verizon customers can of data release on Verizon website or call 1-866-211-0874 decide. However, there are to prevent any possibility that Verizon data collection in the first place.
This makes this policy change pretty creepy. Although Verizon, that it will share user data in a way, that is not personally identifiable, change privacy policy. There is no guarantee, that Verizon more abundantly share user data in the future will not; If you are already keep it on file.
You are realistically, none of these things probably notice. And if you are concerned about wireless provider tabs on you, keep in mind that they all do, to some extent. Still, it hurts to know never.
