Is your phone on a Verizon account?

Your phone is connected to their network, they put the firmware on the phone, they know what you use your phone for.

The wonderful world of the Internet and our digital age has made it so we can all easily be tracked and our interests known.

Might be related to the VZ Protect App, with the latest version of their insurance they can remote into your phone and provide tech support.

Otherwise I don't know of a specific method they would be using.

Can I block it??

I don't see how. Or why really. That info is also on Google in the play store for anything you've downloaded. As @L0n3N1nja noted above, if you use the technology your info is out there.
