Verizon Customers Can Now Discontinue Its Tracking System

The users of the wireless giant can now climb out of the tracking plan that was previously introduced by the company.

According to the most recent Verizon news update, it was announced by the company that now the users of the wireless connection offered by the company will give them an opportunity to discontinue the tracking service that was previously made necessary for all the users. As for now, the customers can now easily stop using the tracking program. This tracker system has been previously taking over ‘supercookies’ which were helping the wireless company to store the data and history of the users from the very start of their use of the connection.

However, by making this service optional, customers are widely seen discontinuing the tracking plan that Verizon introduced. Analysts who are covering the stock of the company have declared that so far no problems have been faced by the users who have stopped the tracking system to further intervene with their personal information.

The customers of the wireless giant have also not been bothered by unnecessary advertisements and this has helped them to take a sigh of relief. Having said that, the biggest wireless providers of the United States are still in possession of important personal data and history of browsing saved on their network of the users that were previously under the tracking system.

As for the Verizon plans, the collection data of its customers is being done for quite some time now and for this purpose, it has been using a special kind of code to each customer that in return helps the company to reach out to the personal browsing data and other important data of the user. This introduction of a code system was also explained by the company previously which resulted in the wireless providers to have an access to the private systems of the users even if they are not willing to share it.

For taking access into the personal information of the users, Verizon wireless felt the need for an explanation and so it explained on its website that this act of tracking and recording is being done for the purpose of attracting the right kind of advertisers to the right customers. The information received by the wireless company through this system is shared to the other companies who in return provide ads that are relevant to the interests of the audience. In this way, the customers will receive ads on their end only those are relatable. In this way, the users are not bothered by unnecessary ads. The company also assured the users that their personal data is not being used in any other way. However, users still felt the need to discontinue being tracked.
