“The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it. Authorization will not help and the request SHOULD NOT be repeated. If the request method was not HEAD and the server wishes to make public why the request has not been fulfilled, it SHOULD describe the reason for the refusal in the entity. This status code is commonly used when the server does not wish to reveal exactly why the request has been refused, or when no other response is applicable.”

Collecting this information requires data mining of ALL of your wireless
transmissions. This means that Verizon will now be personally analyzing every
bit you send on their network. Opting out will ONLY prevent your data from being
used in marketing reports and targeted advertising, not from being
harvested.

I have my own account under my family plan but I am not seeing an opt out option unless I am just completely clueless.
