The terms of such business agreements supersede the provisions of this Privacy Policy.
Types of information we collect and how we use it
The following describes what information Yahoo! collects from visitors to the Sites as well as outside the Yahoo! network of web sites, and how we may use it:
Information Sharing and Disclosure
Yahoo! does not rent, sell or share personally identifiable information about visitors to the Sites. However, Yahoo! may share this information with selectedpartners, vendors, agents or others who work on our behalf, in order to provide products or services you've requested, or when we have your permission. In addition, Yahoo! may share information about you if Yahoo! is acquired by or merged with another company. In this event, Yahoo! will notify you before information about you is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy. Yahoo! may (for the purposes specified in this Privacy Policy) disclose information about you to its group companies or joint ventures worldwide including subsidiaries of Yahoo! Inc. Yahoo! may (for the purposes specified in this Privacy Policy) also transfer information about you to a jurisdiction, including the United States of America, which may not provide the same level of protection for that information as your jurisdiction. Although Yahoo! takes steps to protect information in its possession, the nature of the Internet is such that information may flow over networks without appropriate security measures and may be accessed
and used by unauthorised persons. Please note that we may also share information in the event that we are asked to respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims, or as otherwise permitted by law.

Yahoo! Search Marketing offers advertisers tools that allow them to better understand the performance of their online marketing campaigns. To use these tools, an advertiser adds Yahoo! Search Marketing Tools web beacons to their web sites. These web beacons are electronic files served by perf.overture.com that enable us to collect anonymous information from visitors to the advertiser's sites via cookies. These web beacons collect only anonymous non-personally identifiable information and the URL of the web page where the web beacon is located. We maintain data separately for each advertiser.
The data collected are used to create aggregate reports for our advertising clients. No individual level data is shared by Yahoo! Search Marketing with the advertiser and no such data is shared between different advertisers. For example, we can report to an advertiser that X% of the visitors to its web site had previously viewed an advertisement to its site, and that Y% of those visitors also successfully completed a registration or purchase process later during that same visit.
Except as noted in this privacy statement, information collected from online forms on advertiser web sites is not shared or passed to Yahoo! Search Marketing by our advertisers. Each advertiser is responsible for the privacy practices of its own web sites and we encourage you to read those policies to understand how each advertiser collects and uses information on its sites.
Opt-out
If you choose, you may opt-out
from Yahoo! Search Marketing using information collected with web beacons and cookies outside of the Yahoo! network of web sites. Cookies will need to be enabled for the opt-out to function.
Note: This opt-out applies to a specific browser rather than a specific user. Therefore you will need to opt-out separately from each computer or browser that you use. Additionally, the opt-out only applies to cookies used by au.perf.overture.com and not all cookies set by au.overture.com.
