Verizon traffic solutions provide population movement analytics and collect general, anonymized data, such as the volume of vehicles that travel throughout the region, origin and destination analysis, and data related to interactions among motorists, pedestrians and cyclists. These solutions are designed to protect privacy by only collecting the minimal necessary data needed to report on aggregate, anonymized behavior (no personally identifiable information). Only minimized sensor data gets transmitted to the cloud. To learn more about our traffic and analytics solutions, click here. 

Verizon is focused on delivering data security to the people of Sacramento, from data collection and transmission to storage and access. For example, Verizon uses robust, industry-standard encryption technology.

In addition, Verizon works with third-party companies to help generate best practices for data security. These include conducting network penetration tests and regular internal security reviews, which help ensure practices stay current and evolve according to industry standards. 

Privacy has been a key consideration in the partnership from its very beginning. Going forward, privacy will continue to be critical, with transparency and accountability top of mind.  

Verizon has adopted five principles that help protect privacy for Sacramento citizens:

1. Privacy by design. The solutions used in this partnership are designed in such a way that only anonymized data can be forwarded to the cloud
   
2. Data minimization. Only the minimum required data fields are collected/processed to avoid collecting, sharing, or storing personal information.
   
3. Robust security. Built-in security measures play both preventive and remedial roles to help maintain data security
   
4. Transparency. Verizon is committed to communicating privacy policies in a straightforward way and are open to feedback about our policies
   
5. Accountability. Verizon also regularly conducts Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs) to evaluate applications in our cloud platforms.

The Verizon 5G Home internet service is currently available in limited areas in and around Sacramento. If 5G Home is not currently available in your location, you can sign up to receive notification when we add the service in more neighborhoods. Verizon 5G Ultra Wideband wireless service is not yet available for smartphones.

Most research groups, including the American Cancer Society and other health and regulatory authorities, do not believe that cell phone towers pose health risks under ordinary conditions.

All equipment used for 5G must comply with federal safety standards. Those standards have wide safety margins and are designed to protect everyone, including children. Everyday exposure to the radio frequency energy from 5G small cells is well within those safety limits, and is comparable to exposure from products such as baby monitors, Wi-Fi routers and Bluetooth® devices.
