Verizon Prepaid / Visible

Same parent-company data practices as Verizon Wireless, documented in the Carriers tab - one policy, several brands. The prepaid distinction matters for the same reason it did in the Cricket row: prepaid customers skew lower-income and often chose prepaid specifically to avoid a credit check, they are less likely to carry credit monitoring, and they move more often so mailed breach notifications reach them less reliably. Visible is also a Verizon-owned digital brand that many customers do not realise is Verizon at all.

Terms

Arbitration

Not independently confirmed this pass for Visible/Prepaid specifically — standard binding arbitration + class action waiver expected, consistent with postpaid Verizon Wireless's terms (see Carriers tab).

Data sharing

SAME PARENT-COMPANY DATA-SELLING FINDING as Verizon Wireless (Carriers tab): a landmark June 2026 US SUPREME COURT ruling (FCC v. AT&T, Inc. / Verizon Communications, Inc. v. FCC, 8-1) upheld the FCC's authority to fine Verizon nearly $47 MILLION for selling REAL-TIME CUSTOMER LOCATION DATA without consent — the Court specifically ruled the FCC's forfeiture process does NOT violate the Seventh Amendment right to a jury trial, since the FCC cannot itself seize assets and must instead sue in federal court (where the carrier gets a full jury trial) if it refuses to pay. Prior research also noted a reported newer class action (said to be filed in early 2025) alleging Verizon continues to share browsing, location and app-usage data with advertisers/data brokers; this could not be verified this pass. As Verizon-owned brands, Visible (Verizon's standalone prepaid/digital-only brand) and other Verizon Prepaid offerings likely operate under a SEPARATE Terms of Service from postpaid Verizon Wireless, though the underlying parent-company data practices and legal exposure plausibly extend across brands.

Fees and billing

Verizon separately paid $100 MILLION (Esposito v. Cellco Partnership) to settle claims it misled POSTPAID customers with an undisclosed 'Administrative Charge' — not clear whether this specific billing-fee settlement extends to prepaid/Visible customers, who are typically billed differently (prepaid, no long-term contract) than postpaid subscribers.

Contacts

Privacy contact. No published privacy email; Verizon routes requests through its online privacy form

Legal notice. PUBLIC COMPANY (VZ). Service route: c/o General Counsel / Corporate Secretary, New York, New York — the corporate address on the SEC Form 10-K cover page is the official address of record. Confirm the exact street address on the current 10-K at sec.gov/edgar, and check the state-of-incorporation registered agent (usually Delaware; most large filers use The Corporation Trust Company or Corporation Service Company) via the Secretary of State business-entity search. A registered agent MUST accept service, which is why it is the reliable channel when a company publishes no privacy address.

Mailing address. PARENT ADDRESS ONLY — verify before using for legal notice. Visible is a Verizon-owned digital brand operating under its own consumer terms. Parent: Verizon Privacy Office, 1300 I Street NW, Suite 500 East, Washington, DC 20005, USA (International: Verizon Legal Dept, Reading International Business Park, Basingstoke Road, Reading, Berkshire RG2 6DA, UK)
