We share certain information with Verizon, and our affiliates. This includes providing you with the latest information about our products and services and offer you the latest promotions.

We may share with or we may allow our service providers to collect personal information, including your activity on our sites and in our apps. These companies may use technologies, such as cookies, pixels, web beacons, tags, scripts, or similar technologies on our pages and the browsers you use. These service providers help us improve website and app security, authenticate you, detect and deter fraud, improve site performance, provide content or analytics, and other purposes as described in the “How does Verizon use information” section.

We share information with advertising companies. If you access third-party services, such as Facebook, Google, Instagram, Reddit or Twitter, through our sites or apps, to log in or to share information about your Visible experience, or if you contact us through these services, these third-party services may be able to collect information about you and they may notify your connections on the third-party services about your use of the site or app, in accordance with their own privacy policies.
We may share, or allow certain third-party advertising companies to collect information about your activity on our sites and in our app, including advertising identifiers from your mobile device operating system. They can use that information to help us provide more relevant Visible advertisements on our own site and on others’ sites and apps. These companies may combine information from our sites with similar information they collect on other sites to determine whether you fit into an audience that advertisers, including Visible, are trying to reach, to serve targeted advertising to you on our sites and other sites and platforms, or to find other potential customers. To do this, we and these companies use technologies such as cookies, pixels, web beacons, tags, scripts, or similar technologies on our pages and the browsers you use, or we may share information using application programming interfaces (APIs).
In addition, we require that advertising companies disclose when they are using interest-based advertising techniques to deliver ads on our sites and apps as well as when they deliver Visible ads on other sites. We also require them to offer you the ability to opt out of this use of your information.
Visible websites may also include social network or other third-party plug-ins, widgets, or other similar technology that may provide information to associated social networks or third parties even if you do not click on or otherwise interact with the plug-ins and widgets.
Our customers and website visitors can limit the sale and sharing of personal information as well as the use of this information for certain types of targeted advertising. Certain states give consumers who reside in those states the right to make these opt out choices.
Please visit the Your Choices section of this policy to learn how to opt out.
