Verizon is Selling Your Personal Data

Does anyone know if this applies to iPad-only customers? That's my only Verizon account, but the opt-out link requires a phone number to log in. (Ditto for the "forgot user id" form.)

I retrieved my iPad phone number as per the other comment and logged into the website. Their site says my info is being shared and when I try to switch this it says the settings can not be saved. Calling the 800 number says I am already opted out.

I tried speaking with a CS agent who had no idea what privacy settings I was talking about and then said it does not apply to pre-pay customers. I think she was just trying to get me off the line.

So I'm not sure if this applies to iPad customers or if it is possible to opt out.

You'll find your iPad's phone number under Settings, Cellular Data, View Account.
