 Family Accounts

Yahoo! Family Accounts allows a parent or legal guardian to give consent before their child creates an account with Yahoo!. A child is someone who indicates to us that they are under the age of 13. Family Accounts also allows the parent to access and maintain information about their child's account.

Information Collection and Use Practices

  • Before a parent can give consent for their child to register with Yahoo! through a Yahoo! Family Account, the parent must register and create their own Yahoo! account.
  • In addition to information requested at registration, Yahoo! Family Accounts asks for the parent's name and credit card information. The credit card will not be charged; it is used for real-time verification purposes only.
  • The credit card information is archived in a secure fashion as evidence that parental consent was received.
