Yelp Privacy Policy

This is Yelp's privacy policy — the document that explains what personal information Yelp collects about you when you use its website or app, how it uses that information, and who it shares it with. Yelp collects a wide range of data including your name, location, browsing behavior, and even phone call recordings, and shares it with advertisers and business partners. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, delete, or opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal data.

Yelp's Privacy Policy (last updated October 1, 2025, effective January 1, 2026) governs the collection, use, and sharing of personal information across Yelp's websites, mobile applications, and communications services. The policy establishes broad data collection practices encompassing account information, usage data, location data, device identifiers, communications content, and third-party sourced data. It discloses sharing of personal information with advertising partners, business partners, service providers, and in connection with corporate transactions. The policy creates rights for US residents under CCPA/CPRA (including opt-out of data sale/sharing and sensitive data limitations), European residents under GDPR (including data subject rights and lawful basis disclosures via Yelp Ireland Ltd.), and Quebec residents under Law 25. Notably, the policy includes provisions on AI-powered features, precise geolocation tracking, and cross-context behavioral advertising.
