WHAT THE POLICIES SAY

Lumen Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: LUMN, HQ Monroe, Louisiana) is the publicly traded parent of the CenturyLink and Quantum Fiber consumer ISP brands as well as an enterprise/wholesale fiber network business. Lumen's Privacy Notice describes broad collection of identifiers including social security numbers and financial account details, use of third-party analytics providers such as Google Analytics with cookies and pixels, sharing of personal information with affiliates, subsidiaries, and named third-party vendors, and a CCPA/CPRA opt-out right covering "selling or sharing" personal information. Lumen's FY2025 10-K discloses that it entered a definitive agreement to sell its Mass Markets Fiber-to-the-Home business (the CenturyLink/Quantum Fiber residential fiber footprint in 11 states) to AT&T, a sale that closed February 2, 2026 for $5.75 billion in gross cash proceeds. The same 10-K's risk factors acknowledge Lumen's exposure to nation-state cyberattacks given its role in global internet traffic and state that "past incidents" have not had a material adverse effect on the business, without naming any specific incident; no FTC, FCC, or state-AG enforcement action or confirmed customer-data breach naming Lumen or CenturyLink was located via the primary sources fetched in this research.
