In connection with this inquiry, the FTC has requested that the company provide information about its practices and submit various documents and other materials to the FTC. Yahoo! responded: “We understand that this inquiry was prompted by the California Health Care Foundation’s report dated January 2000 on the health Web sites of 21 companies. We are voluntarily providing information to the FTC. We take privacy very seriously, we are committed to it, and we are proud of our record.”
