Verizon Business Data Privacy
Last updated: 18 April 2026. This Data Privacy explains how Verizon Business (a brand of Verizon Communications, a US carrier regulated by the Federal Communications Commission) collects, uses, discloses and retains information when customers, prospects and visitors interact with verizonwireless.at and the commercial services offered through this portal.
The policy is aligned with Section 222 of the Communications Act (CPNI), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), the New York SHIELD Act, the FTC Act Section 5, SOC 2 Type II controls and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework.
1. Information Collected
Verizon Business collects information in three categories. Customer-provided information includes business name, billing address, signatory contact details, payment information and data submitted through account provisioning. Service-generated data includes Customer Proprietary Network Information (CPNI) such as call records, session destinations, location data and usage metrics, plus network telemetry required to operate wireless, fiber, 5G, voice and cloud services. Website telemetry includes IP address, device type, browser fingerprint, pages viewed and referral data collected when visitors interact with verizonwireless.at.
2. Purposes of Processing
Information is processed for five purposes. (a) Service delivery — provisioning, operating and supporting the services contracted under a Verizon Business account, including billing, performance monitoring and fault resolution. (b) Fraud prevention — detecting and preventing unauthorized access, toll fraud, SIM swap fraud and other abusive use of telecommunications services. (c) CPNI-permitted uses — delivering telecommunications services within the category of the customer's current service is permitted without separate consent under Section 222 of the Communications Act; marketing outside the service category requires affirmative opt-in. (d) Security and compliance — maintaining SOC 2 Type II controls, NIST 800-53 alignment, NY SHIELD reasonable safeguards and responding to lawful process. (e) Improvement — aggregated and de-identified analytics improve service quality.
3. Consent
Opt-in consent is obtained for CPNI use outside the current service category, for marketing communications, and for optional cookies. Customers may withdraw consent at any time through the portal or by emailing privacy@verizonwireless.at. Withdrawal does not affect the legality of processing conducted before withdrawal and does not affect processing necessary to deliver the contracted services.
4. Third-Party Disclosure
Verizon Business discloses information to (a) sub-processors who operate services on Verizon Business's behalf under contract, including network infrastructure, fraud analytics, Contact Centre, cloud and billing platforms; (b) lawful authorities upon valid legal process, with customer notification except where prohibited by law; (c) carriers and wholesale partners where necessary to deliver interconnected service; and (d) successors in the event of merger, acquisition or divestiture, subject to this policy. Verizon Business does not sell personal information within the CCPA/CPRA meaning.
5. Cross-Border Transfers
Information may transfer to sub-processors operating outside the United States, including to jurisdictions that may not provide equivalent protections. Transfers are protected by contractual safeguards (Standard Contractual Clauses equivalents), encryption at rest and in transit, and supplementary measures aligned with NIST 800-53. Customers may request the list of active sub-processor locations from the Privacy Officer.
6. Security
Verizon Business maintains SOC 2 Type II attestation covering the commercial portal and supporting platforms, and aligns controls with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and NIST 800-53 Moderate baseline. Technical measures include TLS 1.3 in transit, AES-256 at rest, multi-factor authentication on all administrative interfaces, privilege separation, continuous vulnerability scanning and 24/7 SOC monitoring. Reasonable Administrative, Technical and Physical safeguards under NY SHIELD are documented and reviewed annually.
