Information Collection and Use Practices
- Yahoo!Xtra tracks clicks on the Yahoo!Xtra Toolbar in order to improve the Toolbar. This information is not used to target advertising to users.
- With a Yahoo!Xtra ID you can create bookmarks that are accessible through the Toolbar and customise other Toolbar features. These settings are saved with your Yahoo!Xtra ID and available to you when you log into Yahoo!Xtra. Yahoo!Xtra counts clicks on the Bookmarks button, but does not track the actual bookmarked sites visited.
- When you access a Yahoo!Xtra page, that page may request information from you. The Toolbar does not collect or report information about your visits to any web sites.
- Anti-Spy
- The Anti-Spy feature of Yahoo!Xtra Toolbar is provided in conjunction with Pest Patrol. This feature can be accessed by clicking on the Anti-Spy icon. You must select this feature to run the Anti-Spy scan. This software will not run automatically.
- The Anti-Spy software will scan the content of your hard drive for known and suspected spyware and adware.
- The actions of starting, completing, and cancelling a scan is tracked by Yahoo!Xtra in order to measure usage of the Anti-Spy feature. Anti-Spy does not report any personally identifiable usage information to Yahoo!Xtra or Pest Patrol. No other information is accessed on your computer other than what is necessary to do this scan when you use the Anti-Spy software.
