Reorganisation of our European Operations


As part of our ongoing commitment to deliver outstanding service, we have recently reorganised our European operations. Beginning 21 March 2014, we will be providing our services from a single European entity based in Ireland.

The move requires changes to our Terms and Privacy Policy, most notably, that your user contract will be transferred from Yahoo! UK Limited to Yahoo! EMEA Limited (Learn more).

This change applies to all Yahoo services you receive, such as Mail, Flickr and Answers, that are provided to you from Yahoo! UK Limited or one of our other European companies.

For a summary of the changes, visit our FAQ or click to read the new Terms and Privacy Policy.




What do you need to do?

Your continued use of Yahoo services after 21 March 2014 means that you accept the changes to the Terms and Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to them, then you must close your account before 21 March 2014.


Questions you may have
What is Yahoo EMEA?
Yahoo! EMEA Limited ("Yahoo EMEA") is a Yahoo company incorporated in Ireland.

What will change under the new Terms of Service?
The main change we want you to be aware of is that from 21 March 2014 the services we provide to you will be provided by  Yahoo EMEA. As Yahoo EMEA is incorporated according to Irish laws, from 21 March 2014 the services we provide through our European sites will be provided under Irish law.

What other Terms are changing?
If you use any of the following services, these will also now be provided by Yahoo EMEA under Irish law from 21 March 2014:

Yahoo Mail
Yahoo Messenger
Flickr
Yahoo Answers
Yahoo Contributor Network
Yahoo Toolbar
Yahoo Maps
Yahoo Mail Plus
Yahoo Ad Free Mail
Why are we making these changes now?
Like many companies, the structure of Yahoo's business is driven by the needs of the business. There are a number of factors which influence decisions about the locations in which the business operates.

To encourage more collaboration and innovation, we're increasing our headcount in Dublin, thus continuing to bring more Yahoos together in fewer locations. Dublin is already the European home to many of the world's leading global technology brands and has been a home for Yahoo for over a decade already.

In line with the expansion of Yahoo's Irish operations, it is the right time for the business to change the Terms of Service so that they are with Yahoo EMEA.

What will change under the new Privacy Policy?
The principal change is that  Yahoo  EMEA, as the new provider of services to our European users, will replace Yahoo! UK Limited as the data controller responsible for handling your personal information.  Yahoo  EMEA will be responsible for complying with Irish privacy and data protection laws, which are based on the European Data Protection Directive.

We recommend you carefully review the new Privacy Policy here.

What data is transferring to Yahoo EMEA?
As Yahoo EMEA will be providing your service from 21 March 2014, information that was previously controlled by Yahoo! UK Limited will now be controlled by Yahoo EMEA. This includes your Yahoo account information, as well as other data that was previously collected under the applicable Privacy Policy.

Will this change impact how I can get help from customer care, with local language support?
No. Our customer care agents will continue to provide you with the same level of support.

What impact will this have on the Yahoo products I use?
The look and feel and features of your favourite Yahoo sites won't change at all. The new Yahoo EMEA Terms resolve minor inconsistencies in the way old terms governed how Yahoo may use the content you post to public Yahoo areas. Please review Section 9 for details.

How can I move my emails to another provider?
