- Mobile Device Unique Identifier
When connecting to Yahoo! via a service provider that uniquely identifies your mobile device, Yahoo! may receive this identification and use it to offer extended services and/or functionality. Certain Yahoo! services may require our collection of your phone number. We may associate that phone number to the mobile device identification information. However, we will not use that phone number for telemarketing unless you have given us permission to do so.
- Customization of Mobile homepage
Yahoo!’s mobile homepage lets users store preferences like their location, safe search settings, and favourite widgets. Yahoo! will associate these choices with a Yahoo! ID or the mobile device and you can edit these preferences at any time. If you set mobile homepage preferences but choose not to sign in to Yahoo!, you can clear these preferences by clicking the Clear Preference link in the Legal menu in the footer on the mobile home page and Yahoo! will reset them.
- Physical Location
Yahoo! obtains your consent (an opt-in) before using information from pinpointing technology such as GPS and cell tower information. Yahoo! may use and store this information, in combination with other location-based information such as IP address or registration location, to provide enhanced location based services, serve location-targeted advertising, search results, and other content.
- Widgets
Yahoo! shares some information with third party mobile widgets. If you add a third party widget, we will share information such as your country, preferred language, your mobile carrier, device type and browser type if we have it. Third party widgets may also set cookies.
