Your wireless device can determine its (and your) physical,
geographical location (“Location Information”). Certain software
applications are capable of accessing, collecting and using
Location Information and disclosing the information to the
application provider and other people. You should use caution and
discretion when determining whether or not Location Information
should be made available to them. To limit potential unauthorized
access to your Location Information, Verizon Wireless devices are
preset to “E911 ONLY” which will only allow authorized emergency
response personnel to locate you if you dial 9-1-1 from your wireless
device. By changing the setting on the device to “LOCATION
ON” you are enabling third party access to Location Information
through software, widgets or peripheral components you choose to
download, add or attach to your wireless device. Verizon Wireless
encourages you to check your wireless device periodically and
only use software, widgets and peripheral components that are
obtained from reliable sources. When you use your mobile browser
or other services and applications, you authorize Verizon Wireless to
collect, use and disclose your Location Information as appropriate
to provide you with any location services that you enabled. Verizon
Wireless does not retain Location Information longer than necessary
to provide the services to you. We will not knowingly disclose your
Location Information to third parties without your consent. You
should carefully review the privacy policies of application providers
and third parties who you allow access to your Location Information,
and you should know that significant risks can be associated with
disclosing your Location Information to others.
