Apex, NC | Read it yourself... Best to draw your own conclusions after reading it yourself. Here's the link: »www.att.com/privacy/policy/#3
One noteworthy section to me is this:
Customer Proprietary Network Information - In the normal course of providing telecommunications services to our customers, we collect and maintain certain customer proprietary network information, also known as "CPNI". Your CPNI includes the types of telecommunications services you currently purchase, how you use them and related billing information for those services. Your telephone number, name and address are not CPNI.
- Protecting the confidentiality of your CPNI is your right and our duty under federal law. We do not sell, trade or share your CPNI - including your calling records - with anyone outside of the AT&T family of companies or with anyone not authorized to represent us to offer our products or services, or to perform functions on our behalf except as may be required by law or authorized by you.
- As a general rule, we are permitted to use CPNI in our provision of telecommunications services you purchase, including billing and collections for those services. We are permitted to use or disclose CPNI to offer telecommunications services of the same type that you already purchase from us. We may also use or disclose your CPNI for legal or regulatory reasons such as a court order, to investigate fraud or to protect against the unlawful use of our telecommunications network and services and to protect other users.

In terms of telephone service/calling records, it doesn't sound like anything's changed, if I read that right... Re-read this news item... it's about Browsing habits!

| And viewing habits (a la U-Verse). If I get cuaght watching another episode of '24' they may call me a terrorist and I may disappear tomorrow, or tonight.
Thankfully, I do not watching that show--at least not on AT&T networks.  |

Apex, NC | True, the viewing and browsing 'monitoring' issue is different. My bad. As for sharing of the telephone numbers called, etc., they obviously justify any sharing they've done (all their data?) under the 2nd bullet point referenced above. |
