"The rules would put data into several privacy tiers. For sensitive data?like Social Security numbers, geolocation, health information, Web browsing history, and content of communications?ISPs would have to obtain opt-in consent to use and share that data.
The sharing of less-sensitive information, like what service tier you have in order to market additional products, would be opt out.
Anonymized data, which can no longer be linked to a specific customer, can be shared without consent, though ISPs need to make sure it's actually anonymized, the FCC says."
