Yahoo Hearts Spam: Announcement from Yahoo

Here is the message that Yahoo sent to all their subscribers.

Read the email; doesn't it sound so benign? That's because Yahoo forgot to mention a few tiny details. This announcement doesn't tell you that Yahoo will be discarding your privacy preferences. There is no word of the fact that Yahoo has signed you up for all categories of email spam, plus junk postal mail, plus telemarketing phone calls.

Users who received this email may not have realized that Yahoo was trying to pull a fast one on them.

Message from Yahoo! about changes to our Privacy Policy

Your privacy is very important to us here at Yahoo!. We are sending you this email to let you know that we have updated our Privacy Policy. You can read our updated Privacy Policy by visiting Yahoo!’s comprehensive Privacy Center.

Our commitment to privacy hasn't changed. We believe that you should understand what we do with your information and what choices you have. So why are we revising our Privacy Policy? To streamline it and make changes to address several important topics.

In recent years, we have added a Children's Privacy Policy and Privacy Information for users of Yahoo!'s financial products and services, in accordance with requirements of federal legislation. We at Yahoo! have become increasingly aware of questions about how data is treated when a user's safety may be at risk, when fraud or illegal activities may be occurring, or when companies are combined. We feel that the time is right to streamline our privacy policies into a single, comprehensive policy and to address these and other issues in the process. Please take a moment to visit our Privacy Center and read our updated Privacy Policy. (Note: The Yahooligans! Privacy Policy, for our children's web site, has not changed. Although the format and some parts of the Yahoo! Privacy Policy have been updated, our collection, use, and treatment of information from kids under age 13 remains unchanged.)

Yahoo! recognizes that while we’ve grown and changed, things in your life have probably also changed. You may have a new job, a different email address, a new house, or different interests. We invite you to take this opportunity to update your personal information so you can continue to receive content and advertising that is most relevant and interesting to you. Please do not reply to this message. If you have any questions about these changes, please visit our Frequently Asked Questions page.

Thank you,

The Yahoo! Team

This email was sent to xxxxxxxx@yahoo.com for the Yahoo! ID xxxxxxxx. If you have questions or concerns, please do not reply to this message. Instead, please visit our FAQ page. You may receive more than one copy of this notification if you maintain multiple accounts.
