I've just seen a notice on Flickr saying that they are going to share users personal information (name, address, dob, gender, email and address) across all companies that are part of the Verizon group. This also appears to include your images (content associated with your account)There is no opt out: they say if you don't want this to happen, you can delete your Yahoo account. I'm interested in what people think of it?

Here's an extract

Q: What user information is being shared?

A: We will share the same information that our companies have previously collected and used for the development and operation of our products and services. This may include your account registration information (such as your user ID, gender, name, email address, postcode & age), your content and advertising interests, content associated with your account, the types of services you use and how you engage with them, cookie and device IDs, IP addresses, geolocation information and activity information from across our websites, apps, software and other services. All of the information that we collect about you may be shared across the various Oath brands and within our Verizon family of companies.
