 Yahoo may target, serve, and measure advertisements on third party websites to browsers with limited cookie support, such as those enabled with Intelligent Tracking Protection (ITP) or similar cookie-blocking technology. In such cases, the information used may be derived from information collected on Yahoo owned and operated products or third party web sites and applications. Yahoo may also use its graph and targeting technologies to assist or enhance our partner’s advertising capabilities with regards to the targeting, serving, and measurement of ads, including Real Time Bidding (RTB) contexts. Because these cookie-blocking technologies may interfere with some of your opt-out choices, you may need to use the Yahoo Across the Web opt-out located in the Yahoo Privacy Dashboard in order to opt out of such targeting.
 Yahoo may target and serve advertisements to interactive devices, such as Smart or Connected TVs or “OTT” devices. Yahoo offers users choices to opt-out of targeted advertising when serving advertisements to such interactive devices, even if the interactive device or platform does not support such features. In order to opt-out of targeted advertising, use either of the Device Linking or Yahoo Across the Web controls (both located in the Privacy Dashboard) from any cookie enabled browser that is connected to your home network. Within 48 hours, your opt-out preferences will be honored on all interactive devices connected to the same home network. Please note that you may need to opt-out again if you connect to a different network or reset your network settings. Alternatively, you may exercise the privacy controls available in the settings provided by your Smart/Connected TV manufacturer. For detailed instructions on using the privacy controls for most major Connected TVs and OTT devices, visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s Connected TV Choices page.
 We use data that we receive from other sources to help us provide more effective advertising. For example, we may use data that is available from public or commercial sources and combine it with other data we have collected or received about a user or the user’s device for these purposes.
-We do not use, or allow others to use, sensitive financial account number data or other sensitive data (in determining what constitutes sensitive data, we follow NAI guidance) to determine eligibility for health insurance, life insurance, or employment. We also do not target ads to users based on sensitive health data, including cancer, mental health-related conditions, and sexually-related areas.
-If a user appears interested in non-sensitive, health-related topics (such as by visiting pages related to such a topic) an ad relevant to those interests may be displayed. We also may display non-sensitive, health-related ads to users who we or our advertisers believe may be an appropriate audience for such topics. For example, a user who is of childbearing age or views several pages related to newborns and parenting might later be shown an ad for diapers. Similarly, a user who lives in an area with high prevalence of diabetes or high blood pressure, or who views content related to diabetes or high blood pressure might later be shown related ads.

+Determining Your Legal Jurisdiction
+
+Yahoo uses your location information and other available signals to determine your legal jurisdiction in order to comply with applicable laws. In many cases, this determination is made by analyzing the IP address that is sent from your browser or mobile device. Yahoo may also consider or use your registration information (including billing information), the region-specific version of the product you are using (e.g., regional homepages for yahoo.com), cookie and/or mobile device identifiers, GPS coordinates, and related “device locale” information provided by your browser or mobile device. In cases where Yahoo provides services to third parties, Yahoo may rely on information provided by business partners. Note that Yahoo will retain, use, combine, and reconcile some or all of these signals over time for the purpose of determining your applicable legal jurisdiction.
+
+If you connect to Yahoo or its services through a VPN, proxy server, or other method that blocks or redacts any of the above information, Yahoo may not be able to accurately determine your legal jurisdiction, which may affect Yahoo’s ability to provide requested services or honor certain privacy rights.
+
+Use of Precise Geolocation information in Virginia
+
+The Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act requires consent for the collection of precise location data for certain commercial uses. Yahoo honors this legal requirement by truncating latitude and longitude coordinate information from geolocation data that falls within the state of Virginia to convert the data into imprecise location data. Virginia residents do not need to manage or effectuate their Precise Location Information opt-out in Yahoo’s Privacy Dashboard to receive this privacy protection.

 Sharing of Information

 Yahoo and its affiliates may share the location information it receives among other Yahoo affiliates and any companies that become affiliates. Yahoo affiliates use the information consistent with their privacy policies.

 Ad Personalization
 While it is not possible to turn off all advertising, you do have choices:
 Yahoo participates in multiple, regional self-regulatory bodies and is committed to adhering to their principles for online behavioral advertising. While distinct, these entities are all cooperatives of companies committed to building responsible advertising policies across the Internet. To learn more, please see them listed in Ad Serving.
-Yahoo offers controls built-in to personalize your experience. You can opt out of receiving interest-based ads from us when you browse the web by directly utilizing Yahoo Privacy Controls. Your opt-out choices will apply only to the browser and device you are using when you opt out unless you have registered with our Services and are logged in when you opt-out. If you opt-out of receiving interest-based ads from us, we will not use your information for the purposes described in database match and append processes, and you will no longer receive interest-based advertising.
-If you opt-out of advertising personalization, you will continue to see ads, but they won’t be customized by Yahoo to your interests or search history.
 Even when you opt out of interest-based ads, we may still use information we obtain from your uses of our Services for fraud, security, analytics, research, Services innovation and improvement, and attribution purposes.
 You can, in many cases, opt-out of receiving targeted ads from other companies that serve ads on Yahoo Services by visiting our Third Parties on Yahoo page.
-You can edit your Yahoo account information, that may be used to select ads, at any time.
 While Yahoo does not share personally identifiable information with third parties for advertising purposes, if you have provided your email address to third parties in another context, you may be able to opt-out of further use of your data by exercising the Network Advertising Initiative’s Audience Matched Advertising opt-out control at optout.networkadvertising.org.
+If you access and use Yahoo services from multiple devices, or if you choose to share your device with others, your settings and preferences (“your choices”) may differ on those devices or be impacted by others’ activity. For the most consistent experience, ensure you are logged in to your Yahoo account across the devices that you regularly use, and be sure to log out of your Yahoo account before sharing your device with anyone else. For example:
+If you access and use Yahoo services from multiple devices, your choices may sometimes differ across those devices. When possible and practical, Yahoo will store your choices in your account settings and attempt to synchronize changes you make across your other devices. In cases where this is not possible, or the device environment interferes with the synchronization process, the choices you make will only apply to the given device, in a limited context, or for a limited time. For example, if you update choices on a device while in a logged-out state, those choices will apply only to that device, and they will be lost once you (or someone else) logs in to a Yahoo account on that device.
+If you choose to share your device with friends or family members, any choices they make or consents they provide while using your device may change your account settings (and possibly your experience) in unpredictable ways, including your experience on other devices you use, depending on the level of access you give them.
+On occasion, the choices you make may conflict with one another, and in such cases Yahoo will honor your most recent applicable choice. For example, if you make a browser-based advertising opt-out choice (such as through the Global Privacy Control or Ad Choices opt-out) but later provide consent to Yahoo for data sharing and use in another context, Yahoo will override your opt-out choice with your more recent consent. Note that support, effectiveness, and persistence of some choice mechanisms may also be limited by the type, version, or configuration of your device or operating system.
+When you log out of Yahoo services, in order to protect your account and your data, we remove all authentication cookies that are required to access your account. However, other cookies, such as those used for analytics, personalized advertising, and user experience settings (including privacy settings), may remain. If, after logging out, you continue to use Yahoo services, we will collect and use the activity data (including available cookie data), subject to your settings and this privacy policy. Also note that logging out of Yahoo services does not typically affect (or remove) any cookies that are set by Third Party business partners that operate on Yahoo. If you wish to remove these or other cookies, you can typically do so through the controls provided in your browser or device settings.

 Information Security and Data Retention

+
 Yahoo has technical, administrative and physical safeguards in place to help protect against unauthorized access, use or disclosure of customer information we collect or store. 

 Yahoo will retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide the applicable Yahoo Services to you. In some cases, Yahoo has certain business or legal requirements that result in an obligation to retain your personal information for an extended period of time. These obligations may include financial record keeping, ensuring continuity of our products or services, security, fraud, and abuse prevention, or compliance with our legal obligations. In some limited cases, we may keep data for longer than needed for the purposes set out in the Yahoo Privacy Dashboard, such as: (i) replicating or backing up certain data to “offline” storage for disaster recovery purposes; (ii) truncating, redacting or summarizing raw data, log files and database records into statistical aggregate data or probabilistic data structures to understand long term trends; (iii) maintaining de-identified data for varying periods for research, reporting and product testing or development (in these cases, unique identifiers and linkages to existing data about you are broken or removed so that this data is no longer associated with you, your browser, or device); or (iv) keeping and using certain data to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes or enforce our agreements (for example, we might keep data associated with an account subject to litigation or a request from law enforcement). For specific information about your personal information or how your personal information is processed by a particular Yahoo product or service you may interact with, please log into the Yahoo Privacy Dashboard.

 Protecting Children’s Privacy

+
 Our Services are for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect, use, or share information that could reasonably be used to identify children under age 13 without prior parental consent or consistent with applicable law. With parental permission, a child under age 13 might have a Yahoo Family Account. Visit Children's Privacy & Family Accounts to learn more about children’s privacy at Yahoo.

 Our Legal Bases for Processing Information. We mainly rely on three separate bases to lawfully process your information. First, we need to process your information in certain ways to provide our services to you, in accordance with our Terms of Service. This processing is necessary to perform the contract between you and us. Second, where you have given us consent to use your information in certain ways, we will rely on your consent. Third, in certain cases, we may process your information where necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of third parties, where those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests. Occasionally, Yahoo may rely on other legal bases to process your information, such as to protect a user’s vital interests (such as where there is a risk of imminent harm) or to comply with a legal obligation. Please see our Legal bases page for more information.

 Advertising technologies

-Advertisements you see on Yahoo Services are served by Yahoo, and our partners, like Google and Taboola. We also allow certain companies to serve advertisements and collect information within our Services, and in some instances Yahoo discloses pseudonymous information to these companies as described in Section 6 of our Privacy Policy. These companies include third party ad servers, ad agencies, technology vendors, providers of sponsored content, research firms, and other companies that help us provide more effective advertising.
-
-These companies do things like help us deliver ads to people who are most likely to be interested in seeing them, keep track of the number of users who saw a particular ad or visited a particular page of one of our websites, analyze the effectiveness of our ads, and provide auditing, research and reporting for advertisers. Because your browser, app, or device communicates with the third party’s servers, these companies can collect information, including your IP address, page header information, browser or device information, just as if you had requested their webpage or used their apps directly.

 This Privacy Policy is meant to help you understand what information Yahoo, its affiliates and its house of global brands (“Yahoo,” “us,” “our” or “we”) collect, why we collect it and what we do with it. This policy applies to Yahoo brands, websites, apps, advertising services, products, services or technologies (we’ll collectively refer to these as “Services”). Additional privacy practices for certain Services can be found in Details for Specific Products and Services.

 Information Security and Data Retention

-
 Yahoo has technical, administrative and physical safeguards in place to help protect against unauthorized access, use or disclosure of customer information we collect or store. 

 Yahoo will retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide the applicable Yahoo Services to you. In some cases, Yahoo has certain business or legal requirements that result in an obligation to retain your personal information for an extended period of time. These obligations may include financial record keeping, ensuring continuity of our products or services, security, fraud, and abuse prevention, or compliance with our legal obligations. In some limited cases, we may keep data for longer than needed for the purposes set out in the Yahoo Privacy Dashboard, such as: (i) replicating or backing up certain data to “offline” storage for disaster recovery purposes; (ii) truncating, redacting or summarizing raw data, log files and database records into statistical aggregate data or probabilistic data structures to understand long term trends; (iii) maintaining de-identified data for varying periods for research, reporting and product testing or development (in these cases, unique identifiers and linkages to existing data about you are broken or removed so that this data is no longer associated with you, your browser, or device); or (iv) keeping and using certain data to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes or enforce our agreements (for example, we might keep data associated with an account subject to litigation or a request from law enforcement). For specific information about your personal information or how your personal information is processed by a particular Yahoo product or service you may interact with, please log into the Yahoo Privacy Dashboard.

 Protecting Children’s Privacy

-
 Our Services are for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect, use, or share information that could reasonably be used to identify children under age 13 without prior parental consent or consistent with applicable law. With parental permission, a child under age 13 might have a Yahoo Family Account. Visit Children's Privacy & Family Accounts to learn more about children’s privacy at Yahoo.

 Our Legal Bases for Processing Information. We mainly rely on three separate bases to lawfully process your information. First, we need to process your information in certain ways to provide our services to you, in accordance with our Terms of Service. This processing is necessary to perform the contract between you and us. Second, where you have given us consent to use your information in certain ways, we will rely on your consent. Third, in certain cases, we may process your information where necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of third parties, where those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests. Occasionally, Yahoo may rely on other legal bases to process your information, such as to protect a user’s vital interests (such as where there is a risk of imminent harm) or to comply with a legal obligation. Please see our Legal bases page for more information.
