1. Mobile Device Unique Identifier
When connecting to Yahoo! via a service provider that uniquely identifies your mobile device, Yahoo! may receive this identification and use it to offer extended services and/or functionality. Certain Yahoo! services may require our collection of your phone number. We may associate that phone number to the mobile device identification information. However, we will not use that phone number for telemarketing unless you have given us permission to do so.
2. Physical Location
Some mobile phone service providers must identify the physical location of devices using their service. Depending on the provider, Yahoo! may automatically receive and store this location information. Yahoo! may use this information, in combination with other location-based information such as IP address or registration location, to serve location-targeted advertising, search results, and other content. With your prior consent (opt-in), Yahoo! may offer additional products and services that use this and more-precise location recognition technology, including chip-based GPS and WLAN.
3. Use of Information
Yahoo! does not rent, sell, or share your personal information with other people or nonaffiliated companies, except to offer products or services you've requested, or under the following circumstances:
We provide the information to trusted partners who work on behalf of or with Yahoo! under confidentiality agreements. These companies may use your personal information to help Yahoo! communicate with you about offers from Yahoo! and our marketing partners. However, these companies do not have any independent right to share this information.
We have a parent's permission to share the information if the user is a child under the age of 13. Parents also have the option of allowing Yahoo!'s collection and use of their child's information without consenting to Yahoo!'s sharing of this information with other people and companies.
We are acquired by or merged with another company. In this event, Yahoo! will notify you before your information is transferred and subject to a different privacy policy.
4. Legal Process
Yahoo! believes it must share information to investigate, prevent, or take action against illegal activities, suspected fraud, emergency situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, or violations of Yahoo!'s Terms of Service or as required by law. We share information in response to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims.
5. Account Information and Preferences
You can edit your Yahoo! account information, including your marketing preferences, on a computer at any time. If you're not logged in, service limitations may prevent you from accessing the full functionality of Yahoo! services or tools while using mobile devices. In that case, you may need to use a computer to connect to Yahoo!.
6. Other
