Even worse, I discovered as a prepaid Verizon customer that the option to opt out of these programs is not even offered. Neither the Verizon App nor their website have a "Privacy Settings" area at all when you are a prepaid customer.
I chatted with their tech support and they confirmed that the feature to control these settings is only available to postpaid customers.
I guess the filthy poor with bad credit don't even deserve the choice to opt out of Verizon's spying.
