Yahoo yodels new privacy tune
Not one to be left out, Yahoo has joined the chorus of search engines boasting new privacy policies. Yahoo has chosen to ‘anonymize' users' search histories after 13 months, rather than the 18-month period settled upon by most rivals. The company's announcement came fresh on the heels of similar news from Microsoft and Ask.com.
Yahoo became the latest major Internet search provider to alter its user privacy policy Monday. Under the new plan, the company said, it will ‘anonymize' search histories after only 13 months, five months earlier than its search competitors at Google, Microsoft and Ask.com.
