Verizon knows where you sleep.

Scary huh? Verizon sent out an email to all subscribers stating the following:

Verizon Wireless will use the following categories of information:

Mobile Usage Information:
•Addresses of websites you visit when using our wireless service. These data strings (or URLs) may include search terms you have used
•Location of your device (“Location Information”)
•App and device feature usage

Consumer Information:
•Information about your use of Verizon products and services (such as data and calling features, device type, and amount
of use)
•Demographic and interest categories provided to us by other companies, such as gender, age range, sports fan, frequent diner, or pet owner (“Demographics”)

You can always opt out of this by logging into your MyVerizon online account and going to this page:

I would suggest doing so!
