Yahoo
Weighted across nine legal categories. Lower is worse.
Executive summary
This document is a California-specific privacy rights notice focused on CCPA/CPRA compliance rather than a comprehensive Terms and Conditions agreement. While the data privacy section is robust and consumer-friendly, eight of the nine evaluated categories are entirely absent, as the text does not address account management, intellectual property, payments, liability, indemnification, modification procedures, or dispute resolution.
Category breakdown
8 of the nine categories are not addressed by this document, so they are left out rather than scored.
Data Privacy
Data collection, usage, and protection
Strong CCPA/CPRA compliance with explicit rights, granular opt-outs, GPC recognition, and clear data retention criteria, though requiring account login for most requests creates a friction barrier for unauthenticated users.
Key findings
- Explicitly lists all CCPA rights and implementation methods
- Recognizes Global Privacy Control signals
- Details specific data categories collected and shared
- Provides transparent retention exceptions and de-identification practices
Evidence from the document
You may direct Yahoo not to sell or share your personal information by turning off the 'allow the 'sale' or 'sharing' of my personal information' control in your privacy controls.
If you have enabled a legally recognized browser-based opt-out preference signal (such as Global Privacy Control) on your browser, we recognize such preference in accordance with and to the extent required by applicable law.
Recommendations
- Allow unauthenticated users to exercise deletion and access rights via email or web form
- Clarify the 'compatible with context' retention exception to prevent over-retention
