If privacy is a concern, please take the time to insure you did not elect to make any information about yourself public when you established your Yahoo! account. Users may elect to have information listed in Yahoo! People Search, or may have public profiles. If you wish to have your information removed from Yahoo! People Search, follow these instructions.

To remove a public profile, go to the profile edit page, click edit beside each profile and delete the information you do not want stored in the database.

Sometimes personal information is displayed when you engage in certain activities on Yahoo!. For example, your Yahoo! ID or alias will be publicly displayed if you use Yahoo! Chat or Message Boards or when you choose to participate in a Yahoo! Auction, among other activities. Remember that if you post personally identifiable information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.
