Verizon has a section of their site to turn off marketing and adjust privacy settings. Notably absent is the ability to turn off location sharing. I emailed the privacy department and they totally dodged my question. I still would like, and think it's important to have, an option to opt out of all location sharing. I don't care if it's for fraud prevention since that is easily abused by companies.

For those curious, here is where/how to do this with Verizon:

Login (verizonwireless.com) > My Profile > Privacy Settings

https://nbillpay.verizonwireless.com/vzw/secure/setPrivacy.a...

"Customer Proprietary Network Information Settings" was enabled. "Business & Marketing Insights" was disabled. "Relevant Mobile Advertising " was enabled.

Note, I had to disable Customer Proprietary Network Information Settings twice after I found it was still enabled after my first attempt.
