Yahoo! Alerts
Yahoo! Alerts provides delivery of information on Yahoo! to your email box, Yahoo! Messenger, or mobile device. In order to use Yahoo! Alerts, you must be a registered Yahoo! user.
Information Collection and Use Practices
- Creating a Yahoo! Alert requires you to select an email address or mobile device where your alert will be delivered. Additional personal information may be required, depending on the type of alert you create.
Practices Regarding Your Ability to Update or Delete Information
- You can edit or delete your alerts at any time.
- You can cancel all Yahoo! Alerts sent to your mobile device by visiting the cancel all mobile alerts page. 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.
Web Beacons
- Yahoo! Alerts uses an invisible pixel, sometimes called a web beacon, in HTML email messages to determine which email messages were opened and to note whether a message was acted upon.
