How to opt-out of AT&T's new data (about you) sales initiative
http://j.mp/12jD2BB (Forbes)
"As noted by Fierce Wireless, a proposed change to AT&T's privacy
policy will allow the company to use customers' wireless location
information, "U-verse information" (AT&T's television service),
website browsing, mobile application usage, age and gender for reports
to other customers interested, for example, in who is coming into
their stores."

Some firms I trust to handle this kind of information safely and
properly. AT&T isn't one of them. Here's the link to the
opt-out page:
