Yahoo! Family Accounts <url: http://family.yahoo.com/ > 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.

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.
