Yahoo! Games

In order to participate in most Yahoo! Games, you must be a registered Yahoo! user. Yahoo! Games is a collection of free, Java-based games on the Web that can be played with anyone connected to the Internet.

Information Collection and Use Practices

  • When you play a game, your Yahoo! ID or alias may be visible to the public, depending on the game that you play.
    • You can play games under a variety of identities without revealing your primary Yahoo! ID by creating an alias.
    • An alias consists of a name and some information that you show in a profile to other players.
    • When a user clicks on your Yahoo! ID or alias, they can send you an instant message or view the information you entered in your profile.
  • If you participate in certain games, we may use the email address that you specify in your account information to send you an email regarding your game or prize status.
Information Sharing and Disclosure Practices
  • Yahoo! works with third party game providers to bring you certain web games and downloads. Some game providers may ask for personal information and require that you register with them before accessing the game. Please read the game provider's privacy policy. They are solely responsible for their use of this information.
