Yahoo! Shopping

Yahoo! Shopping allows you to access thousands of merchants and products in one place. To make a purchase on Yahoo! Shopping, you are not required to be a registered Yahoo! user. But to expedite the check-out process and use Yahoo! Wallet, you must be a registered user who is signed in.

Information Collection and Use Practices

  • For your convenience, items you place in a shopping cart will be included as part of a centralized list on Yahoo! Shopping and saved for a few days.
  • Purchases
    • When you make a purchase through Yahoo! Shopping, the merchant will ask you for your name, billing and shipping addresses, email address, telephone number, and credit card information.
    • Each merchant from whom you make a purchase will receive your personal and order information. Merchants may ask for additional information. Each merchant is solely responsible for their use of your personal and order information.
    • If you are signed into your Yahoo! account, we will create a centralized list of items you order through Yahoo! Stores.
  • Feedback and Testimonials
    • Yahoo! Shopping offers a feedback form that allows you to send us comments and suggestions regarding Yahoo! Shopping. This form asks for your name and email address but only your email address is required. Your email address may be used to contact you regarding the feedback that you have provided to us, but will not be used for any marketing purposes.
    • Yahoo! Shopping also allows you to submit a testimonial about your experience using Shopping that asks for your name, email address and information about your experience. This information may be shared with the press or made publicly available if you consent to these uses.
  • Product Search
    • Advertising shown to you may be related to the search term you enter.

Information Sharing and Disclosure Practices

  • In addition to the merchant, Yahoo! may also collect and use certain personal and order information from Yahoo! Shopping users.
  • You can access your order status and history in Yahoo! Shopping if you are a registered Yahoo! user.
  • Yahoo! does not give your personal information or any information about where your shopped or what you bought to any of our partners or advertisers.

Practices Regarding Your Ability to Update or Delete Information

  • You can update your information in your Yahoo! Wallet at any time.

Practices Regarding Cookies

  • Yahoo! Shopping uses cookies to facilitate the checkout process. If you choose to change your browser preferences to disable cookies, you will still be able to make purchases through most Yahoo! Shopping merchants but you will be limited in the number of items you can purchase at one time.
