Don’t worry, though, because the company says, “We make efforts to eliminate the use of websites that may be sensitive in nature; for example, we employ filters that are designed to exclude websites related to adult content, health conditions, sexual orientation, and others.”

How nice of Verizon to “make efforts” to avoid websites you might not want the company to know about. Of course, making an effort means that the firm could fail and see every website you visit, including sensitive ones.

There’s also “Custom Experience Plus,” which gives Verizon even more access. Verizon says this adds “Device location information we obtain from the Verizon network and from Verizon apps you have permitted to collect location for these purposes, information about your Verizon Fios services and customer Proprietary Network Information.”

It’s easy to opt out through the Verizon app, but that doesn’t mean making it opt-out is okay. Log in with your account and uncheck the boxes next to “Custom Experience” and “Custom Experience Plus” to keep Verizon from seeing just about everything you do with your phone.

 
Also, never use your isps dns server or googles.
