applications, services and programs are capable of accessing, collecting, storing and using

Location Information and disclosing Location Information to others. You should use caution when

determining whether or not Location Information should be made available to others and you

should review any applicable third party privacy policies before providing access. To limit potential

unauthorized access to your Location Information, Verizon Wireless phones are preset to E911

your phone. Other wireless devices (such as Broadband Data Cards or devices without a keypad or

user interface) may or may not have such limitations and location settings available. By enabling

location settings you are permitting third party access to Location Information through software,

widgets or peripheral components you choose to download, add or attach to your wireless device

or through web access, messaging capabilities or other means and you are authorizing Verizon

Wireless to collect, use and disclose your Location Information as appropriate to provide you with

any location services that you enabled.
