GDPR Rights for European Residents

Medium severity
Share 𝕏 Share in Share

Why it matters

European residents have stronger legal protections than most other users, including the right to have their data erased and the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests.

Consumer impact

Yelp collects extensive personal data including precise geolocation, phone call recordings, device identifiers, and browsing behavior, which is shared with advertising partners and third-party businesses for targeted marketing. Consumers' data may be sold or shared with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising without explicit opt-in consent for most users. You can opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information by visiting Yelp's privacy settings or submitting a request at https://www.yelp.com/ccpa_request.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Delete Your Data
    Within 30 days
    Send an email to privacy@yelp.com identifying yourself as an EEA/UK resident and specifying your request type (e.g., erasure, access, portability). Yelp Ireland must respond within one month under GDPR.

Applicable agencies

  • State AG
    EU/UK residents should contact their national data protection authority (e.g., Ireland's DPC or the UK ICO) rather than a US agency for GDPR enforcement.
