Under the terms of the settlement, Google will provide full refunds, with a minimum payment of USD 19 million, to consumers who were charged for kids' purchases without authorisation of the account holder. Google has also agreed to modify its billing practices to ensure it obtains express, informed consent from consumers before charging them for items sold in mobile apps.
Verizon to pay USD 7.4 mln to settle FCC data privacy probe
2014-09-04 09:27:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Verizon Communications has agreed to pay the Federal Communications Commission USD 7.4 million to resolve an investigation into the company's use of personal consumer information for marketing purposes. The FCC accused Verizon of failing to inform around two million new customers about their rights to opt out of having their information used for marketing purposes. The company didn't provide the required notices back in 2006 and didn't even become aware of the issue until September 2012. Verizon then failed to notify the FCC of the problem until 18 January 2013, some 126 days later, which is far in excess of the 5 business days the FCC requires. The fine is the largest payment ever received by the FCC in an investigation into the use of customers' personal information. Verizon will now be required to print opt-out notices on every bill for the next three years, not just the first one sent to customers.
