Yahoo! Mail

Yahoo! Mail is a free web-based email service. In order to use Yahoo! Mail, you must be a registered Yahoo! user.

Information Collection and Use Practices

  • If you have previously registered with Yahoo!, the first time you access Yahoo! Mail, you will be asked for the first and last name you would like to display on all outgoing mail messages. You can choose the name you would like your account to reflect.
  • If you register with Yahoo! through Yahoo! Mail, this information will be collected during the registration process.
  • Yahoo!'s practice is not to use addressing information or the content of messages stored in your Yahoo! Mail account for marketing purposes.
  • In order to protect users, Yahoo! Mail does spam, virus, phishing and malware detection that may use any of the message's contents.
  • If you sign up for Reminders, we ask you to specify your email address and information you want to include in the Reminder.
  • When you use Mail by default your online status will be visible to other members who have you on their friends list and on web pages with an online presence indicator. If you do not wish to display your online status, you can choose to appear offline by signing in as “invisible.” Yahoo! Mail includes IP addresses in outgoing mail message headers, as specified by standard Internet protocol.
  • Yahoo! may include web beacons in HTML-formatted email messages (messages that include graphics) that Yahoo!, or its agents, sends solely to determine if an email message was opened or acted upon by user.

Practices Regarding Your Ability to Update or Delete Information

  • You can modify your settings and preferences in your Yahoo! Mail account by accessing "Mail Options" or your Yahoo! account information.
  • You can remove your Reminders at any time.
