Yelp can update this privacy policy at any time; for significant changes, it will post a notice on its website before the changes take effect, and may seek your consent where legally required.

This clause establishes the mechanism by which policy modifications take effect and ensures notice is provided to users in advance of material changes. It conditions consent-seeking only on legal requirements, meaning modifications may proceed without affirmative user consent absent such requirements.
Material changes to how Yelp uses your data are communicated via website notice, not necessarily via direct email or in-app notification; users who do not actively check the policy page may not be aware of changes that affect their privacy rights before the changes take effect.

"We may modify this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you by posting a notice on our website prior to the effective date of the changes. Where required by applicable law, we may seek your consent to any such changes.— Excerpt from Yelp's Yelp Privacy Policy
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: GDPR Article 13/14 requires data controllers to inform data subjects of material changes to processing purposes in a timely manner. CCPA does not impose a specific notification format for policy changes but requires that the policy accurately reflect current practices. Several state privacy laws require advance notice of material changes. The FTC has taken enforcement action against companies that implemented material policy changes without adequate notice. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low to Medium. The policy reserves the right to change data practices with website-only notice, which may be insufficient for GDPR's transparency requirements where changes affect the lawful basis or purpose of processing. The conditional consent provision ('where required by applicable law') suggests consent will not be sought proactively beyond minimum legal requirements. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU/EEA and UK users may have stronger protections if a material change affects the legal basis for processing, as GDPR may require direct notification or renewed consent rather than passive website posting. California residents should note that material changes to data sale or sharing practices may trigger CCPA obligations. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Business customers relying on Yelp's data practices for their own compliance frameworks should monitor policy changes and assess whether updates affect their data processing agreements or compliance posture. Change management processes should include tracking of third-party privacy policy modifications. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Users and compliance teams should subscribe to Yelp's policy update notifications or periodically review the archived policy versions at terms.yelp.com. Compliance teams should assess whether website-only notice satisfies applicable legal notification requirements for their user populations, particularly EU/UK users.
