“Opt out of”/restrict Customer Proprietary Network Information CPNI Just need acct # and zip code.
Customer Data Opt outs Ironically, the only service in there actually named “third party services” might be the only one some people may consider leaving turned on. Need to have privileged access to Wireless Acct. That’s right. I’m telling all you youngans out there on the plans of the parent’s to check your privilege.
Customer Proprietary Network Information (CPNI) What is CPNI?
“CPNI” is information about your phone service from us. Your phone service could be a cell phone or any sort of home or business phone. The “information” is things like what kind of services you have, how you use them, or billing information. (Your telephone number, name and address are not considered CPNI.)
How is CPNI Used and Disclosed? We do not sell, trade or share your CPNI with anyone outside of the AT&T family of companies* or our authorized agents, unless required by law (example: a court order).
We do use your CPNI internally, however. We may share information about our customers among the AT&T companies and our agents in order to offer you new or enhanced services. For example, we might offer a discount or promotion for Internet or TV services based on your CPNI. ** How may I limit the use of my CPNI?** AT&T uses technology and security features, and strict policy guidelines with ourselves and our agents, to safeguard the privacy of CPNI. It is your right and our duty under federal law to protect the confidentiality of your CPNI. If you don’t want AT&T to use your CPNI internally for things like offers, here is what you can do:
You can “opt out” online, at att.com/ecpnioptout, or You can call 800.315.8303, any time of day, and follow the prompts, or You can speak to a service representative at 800.288.2020 (consumer) or 800.321.2000 (business).
These are not the only services you you can opt out of. Although, they are probably the most important.
See att’s Full Privacy Policyfor more info. Pretty interesting read, tbh .

Looked into this a little after accidentally( agreeing to this Policy Update. My eyes caught the words third party and thought back to that bill that passed while ago, hopped on the chat, got these links, sorted her out. No big deal. Or maybe it is. I know I should give a shit, I’m just not so sure I really do. Keep an eye out for that Policy Update if you log on your att though.
