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 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
Website notice alone may not ensure that active users are aware of material changes to their data rights before those changes take effect; users should monitor Yelp's policy page or enable notifications to stay informed.
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.
How other platforms handle this

When you are asked to provide information, you may decline to do so; but if you choose not to provide information that is necessary to provide some of our Services, you may not be able to use those Services.
