Yahoo! may send email to Yahoo! members for a number of reasons. We send several types of emails:
Yahoo! Marketing Communications
- We may send emails marketing Yahoo! products and services. These emails may include special offers, product announcements, and other messages from our various lines of businesses telling you about Yahoo! products and services.
- These emails are sent only to registered Yahoo! users based upon selection of one of more than a dozen marketing communications categories.
- You can edit your Yahoo! Marketing Communications preferences to stop receiving these emails. Links are included in the Yahoo! Privacy Policy and Account Information area of your Yahoo! account. Each Yahoo! Marketing Communications email also includes an unsubscribe link. If you have trouble unsubscribing from one of these emails, please visit Yahoo! Marketing Communications help.
Yahoo! Newsletters
Yahoo! Product Updates
- Some Yahoo! products and services may require that you receive communications as part of using those services. You agree to receive these communications when you register for, use or purchase those services.
- Upon receipt of any initial product update, you will have the opportunity to opt out of future product updates by clicking on an unsubscribe link or by following unsubscribe instructions within the communication.
- You can also visit your Yahoo! Marketing Communications preferences page to manage your communication preferences for all optional communication categories.
Yahoo! Service Announcements and Administrative Messages
- We may send service announcement emails when we need to provide you with information that may affect your use of a product or service. For example, we may send a service announcement if there is an outage or disruption of service or a change in pricing.
- We may automatically send administrative emails when you take certain actions such as changing your password.We may also send certain "welcome" messages that are informational and provide useful details about service activation or product usage instructions when you sign up for a Yahoo! account or begin using a particular Yahoo! service.
- You cannot opt out of service announcement, administrative or welcome emails.
Yahoo! Alerts
- We may send Yahoo! Alerts if you are subscribed to receive them.
- Yahoo! Alerts are personalized messages that notify you of relevant content via email, instant message, pager, or cell phone. You must be a registered Yahoo! member in order to subscribe to Yahoo! Alerts.
- Visit My Alerts to manage your alerts.
- You can cancel all Yahoo! Alerts sent to your mobile device by visiting the cancel all mobile alerts page. Please Note: Because many phone companies recycle phone numbers, it is possible for members who purchase a new phone to receive alerts subscribed to by the previous owner. Anyone can send a message to your phone's email address, so Yahoo! can only stop alerts that are managed by Yahoo!. Only your carrier can prevent all messages from being delivered to your device.
Yahoo! Delivers
- We may send email with special offers, promotions, and research surveys from selected Yahoo! clients through Yahoo!'s email delivery program.
- In the process of bringing you offers through Yahoo! Delivers, our marketing clients are not given direct access to your email address or to any personally identifiable information about you.
- These emails are only sent to registered Yahoo! members.
- You can unsubscribe from Yahoo! Delivers to stop receiving these emails. Unsubscribe on the same page that you edit your Yahoo! Marketing Communications preferences. Email footers will also include an unsubscribe link.
Yahoo! may send Yahoo! email by utilizing third-party email service providers who work with us under confidentiality agreements to send such email on our behalf.
- Our email service providers may include web beacons in the HTML-formatted email messages (messages that include graphics) they send in order to determine which email messages were opened and to note whether a message was acted upon.
