Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile have pledged to limit sharing their customers’ location data with third party companies who have continued to fail to handle that data properly. The announcement follows an investigation led by Senator Ron Wyden (D-Ore) looking into the relationship between Verizon and data vendors.

Wyden’s investigation discovered location privacy issues and demanded telecom giants to audit their relationships with data companies that buy and then sell consumer data. “As a result of this review, we are initiating a process to terminate our existing agreements for the location aggregator program,” Verizon’s chief privacy officer, Karen Zacharia, wrote in a letter to Wyden.
