What it is

When you make or receive calls through Yelp's platform (such as calls to businesses), Yelp may record, transcribe, and analyze those calls for quality assurance, fraud prevention, and service improvement purposes.

This analysis describes what Yelp's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
