Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This means your personal data and content contributions could be used to train AI models, potentially without a clear way to opt out, and may be shared with third-party AI companies whose own privacy practices apply.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Yelp collects a wide range of personal data including precise location, device identifiers, search and browsing history, and user-generated content such as reviews and photos, and the policy permits this data to be used for targeted advertising and AI model training. Users who interact with Yelp's platform should be aware that their content and behavior contribute to both commercial advertising systems and internal AI development, and that some of this data may be shared with third-party advertising networks. You can manage advertising preferences, request data deletion, and opt out of certain data uses by visiting your Yelp account privacy settings or submitting a request to privacy@yelp.com.
