Actually, that is not true. Verizon does collect data from the phones, it is just not called CIQ.
View details here:
Verizon | About Verizon - Privacy Policy you have the option to OPT OUT of Verizon Data Collection.
The Droid 3 Data Collection is done by Motorola, not Verizon.
The apps are called:
DataCollection.apk
DataCollectionProvider.apk
DataCollectionService.apk
Located in System>App...
I wouldn't worry about it. If you have a PC you have been spied on since you got it. All PC's running Windoze "Phone Home" to Microsoft. And most apps on the Mac "Phone Home" as well every time launched to verify serial numbers and system data.
On the Mac there is a program called "Little Snitch" that is a must have for those with questionably obtained software, music, or movies. Little Sitch will tell you what is attempting to make an http request and gives you the option to allow or block.
Hopefully someone will find a way to block CIQ type data collection on our Android devices.
For the most part, I think the data collected, although an invasion of our privacy, is only used for marketing or device usage details... ( I HOPE)
