Yahoo! Personals
In order to post or respond to an ad on Yahoo! Personals, you must be a Yahoo! registered user. Registration is not required if you would like to view personal ads.
Information Collection and Use Practices
- Posting an Ad
- To post an ad, in addition to registration information, we ask for your gender, ethnicity, education, and other demographic information. Your zip code is required because it allows us to display your location (city and state) in your ad.
- All of the information that you indicate is displayed in your personal ad. This information includes, but is not limited to your city and state, your Yahoo! ID or alias, your age, religion, and other personal information.
- When posting an ad, you are asked to include a description of your interests and what you are looking for in a mate. Please do not include a telephone number, URL, or email address in your description. If you do include such personal information, your ad may not be posted.
- To protect our younger users, we don't allow users who have told us they are under the age of 18 to post a Yahoo! Personals ad.
- Responding to an Ad
- When replying to a personal ad, the recipient will be sent a message that includes your Yahoo! ID or alias that you indicate and your email address if you entered it into the optional email field.
- The message that he or she receives from you will also include a "reply" link so he or she can send a message back to your private Yahoo! Personals Mailbox.
- Testimonials
- When you provide Yahoo! with a testimonial about your Yahoo! Personals success story, we ask for your name, email address, phone number (optional), and about your experience.
