What are Yahoo! member profiles?

A Yahoo profile is a summary of a person's identity and personality within the Yahoo family of websites. Yahoo profile has replaced what used to be called Yahoo member profile.

When a Yahoo account is created, the basic information that is mandatory to fill in is stored by Yahoo, but it is not visible to anyone. Once an account is established, users have the option of creating a profile that will either be shared with other users or be kept hidden or private. Users can also include additional information such as location, likes and dislikes and add a profile picture.
