Hi, we’re Oath.

Oath is home to the sites and apps you know and love, like HuffPost, Tumblr, Yahoo Mail, TechCrunch, and many more.

Our stories and services connect with 1 billion people around the world every day.

Our technologies make sure you have experiences that reflect your passions, interests, and goals.

So you feel like one in a billion.

Getting to know you

When you scroll and swipe across our sites and apps, we start learning what you like and get better at showing you more relevant stories, videos, and ads.

We also remember you when you return to our sites and apps, so you don't need to log in every time.

We achieve this using cookies and other tech with less fun names.

Data done right

We use data to improve your experiences across our sites and apps.

It helps us bring you the stories you want to see, deliver agreed-upon services like email, carry out necessary business operations, and more.

We conduct these operations in accordance with the latest data protection laws.

It takes a team

It takes teamwork to bring you the best experiences with our brands.

We may provide information to our parent company Verizon, our partners, and other parties for product improvements, research and analysis, and to help them provide you more relevant experiences and ads.

Take the controls

Your privacy is as important to us as it is to you.

That's why we give you controls.

You can see and manage your account information, marketing preferences, location data, search history, and more.

Your security

Protecting your data is our priority.

Our global security unit operates across our company, with a mission to monitor, detect, and investigate.

We also strive to build privacy and security directly into the products we create to provide you with better performance and protection.
