Whoa there hoss. You are mistaking two different sets of privacy.
I do not think I am mistaking two different sets of privacy. Privacy guarantees as pertaining to my "personal information" is exactly what could have been violated by Verizon in their collusion with the NSA. I'll probably never know if my own personal information that was in the hands of Verizon was handed over to the feds, but such information on others was.
The verbiage I saw on the log out page did not specify that only personal information as related to my online financial transactions was guaranteed to be held in private. That verbiage appeared to state the overall position that Verizon takes with its customers in general, and with myself specifically.
"As always, the privacy and security of your personal information is our #1 priority and is backed by our Internet Privacy Policy."
At any rate, the basic privacy guarantees that Verizon has with all of their customers is and has been spelled out on their website and in other documentation for years. That most certainly was violated, thus the scrambling to find a way to get the administration to push for a law to place Verizon beyond the laws that existed at the time that the violations took place.
