Privacy Controls
At Yahoo, we fundamentally believe that the best user experience is a personalized one. We provide you with many controls built-in to manage your experience with us. We are working to get all these options centralized for all our combined products, but in the meantime please choose the options relevant for your Legacy Yahoo or AOL product.
Also, visit your Privacy Dashboard to see more detailed information and other controls.
