Yahoo! provides services which allow users to access and customize Internet content through mobile phones, PDAs, and other alternative devices. These devices may collect different information than what is collected by computers.
Mobile Device Unique Identifier
- When connecting to Yahoo! using a mobile device that provides Internet access, if the mobile device service provider uniquely identifies the device, Yahoo! will receive this information.
- Yahoo! may use this unique mobile device identification information to offer extended services and/or functionality.
- Certain Yahoo! services may require our collection of the phone number for your device. We may associate that phone number to the mobile device identification information; however we will not use that number for telemarketing.
Physical Location
- Some mobile phone service providers in the US are required to operate a system that will pinpoint the physical location of devices that use their service.
- Depending on the provider, Yahoo! may automatically receive this information.
- In the future, if Yahoo! begins to offer services that use pinpointing technology, we will ensure that we have your consent (an opt-in) before using the information.
- Yahoo! may use and store this information to provide enhanced location-based services as well as to serve location-targeted advertising.
- Yahoo! does not rent, sell or share personal information about you with other people or nonaffiliated companies except to provide products or services you've requested, when we have your permission, or under the following circumstances:
- We provide the information to trusted partners who work on behalf of or with Yahoo! under confidentiality agreements. These companies may use your personal information to help Yahoo! communicate with you about offers from Yahoo! and our marketing partners. However, these companies do not have any independent right to share this information.
- We have a parent's permission to share the information if the user is a child under the age of 13. Parents have the option of allowing Yahoo!'s collection and use of their child's information without consenting to Yahoo!'s sharing of this information with people and companies who may use this information for their own purposes;
- We respond to subpoenas, court orders or legal process, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims;
- We believe it is necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, emergency situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of Yahoo!'s terms of use, or as otherwise required by law.
- We transfer information about you if Yahoo! is acquired by or merged with another company. In this event, Yahoo! will notify you before information about you is transferred and subject to a different privacy policy.
Your Ability to Edit and Delete Your Account Information and Preferences
- While using mobile devices for connecting to Yahoo!, limitations of the service may prevent you from utilizing full functionality of Yahoo! services or tools. This includes the ability to edit or delete account information and content. You may need to use a computer to connect with Yahoo! in those cases.
- You can cancel all Yahoo! Alerts sent to your mobile device by visiting http://mobile.yahoo.com/cancelalerts/ <url: http://mobile.yahoo.com/cancelalerts/ >. Because many phone companies recycle phone numbers, it is possible for users who purchase a new phone to receive alerts that the previous owner had subscribed to. Since your phone has an email address that anyone can send a message to, Yahoo! can only stop alerts that it manages. Only your carrier can prevent all messages from being delivered to your device.
Other
- When you access Yahoo! from any mobile device, you are subject to the Yahoo! Terms of Service.
