Verizon Wireless, which had been limited to wireless devices for its Relevant Mobile Advertising program, has now gone one step ahead to make the advertising easier for mobile advertising companies.
The New Jersey-based company is going to target computers and laptops of its customers to find out the browsing history of its costumers so it can provide the same to the companies involved in mobile advertising.
To be simple, Verizon is going to expose the browsing history of its customers to mobile advertisers.
However, the company is pretty open about its new move and terms the step beneficial for the customers.
“In addition to the customer information that’s currently part of the program, we will soon use an anonymous, unique identifier we create when you register on our websites,” Verizon Wireless informs customers.
If you are a Verizon Wireless customer and think that your PC or laptop browsing history should not be exposed and sold to mobile advertisers, we have got solution for you.
Many customers will feel that once Verizon starts fetching details from your machine it will be impossible to stop it, a simple four-step process will make you secure from leaking information.
Though Verizon has said that it will not use the mobile browsing history of its customers and only the data obtained from PCs and laptops will be shared with other companies, it is always good to make all your devices secure and safe.
Here is the simple four-step guide:
1: Go to My Verizon and log in
2: After logging in, go to Manage My Account
3: Click on Manage Privacy Settings
4: Scroll down and Disable the Relevant Mobile Advertising
Now your Relevant Mobile Advertising is disabled and no mobile advertiser will be able to send you unwanted ads as they will not have access to your browsing history and internet activity.
