VZ Navigator - Location Information
Location Information
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. You should carefully review the privacy policies of application providers and third parties who you allow access to Location Information, and you should know that significant risks can be associated with disclosing Location Information to others. To limit potential unauthorized access to your Location Information, Verizon Wireless devices are preset to "E911 ONLY" which will only allow 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.
