← Measured in the wild

aura.yelp.com

classified as first-party · 2

This page aggregates measured, corroborated evidence: donors' iPhones recorded apps contacting this domain, every claim below was reported by separate accepted donations and published under a human verdict (later rows for an approved app inherit its verdict). A contact is a measurement, not an accusation — it does not show what data was sent.

What our research panel found AI-drafted · human-reviewed

We ask several independent AI models the same question and publish their answers separately — cross-vendor agreement is evidence against fabrication, and disagreement is worth seeing. 3 of 3 models answered, overall confidence medium — undisclosed split: anthropic=false, openai=true, gemini=false. A human reviewed this domain's claims before anything here published.

Anthropic Claude — first-party

aura.yelp.com is a subdomain of yelp.com, the app publisher's own domain, so this is first-party app infrastructure; I do not know what the specific 'aura' service does. The label data supplied appears empty or unpopulated rather than affirmatively declaring no collection, and a first-party backend call does not by itself imply an undeclared third-party data flow, so undisclosed cannot be established from what is given.

OpenAI — first-party

The contacted domain is a Yelp subdomain, so it most likely represents first-party Yelp infrastructure. Because the app declares no data collection or sharing, this observed network contact appears undisclosed.

Google Gemini — first-party

The domain aura.yelp.com is a subdomain of yelp.com, matching the publisher of the app. Network requests to first-party infrastructure do not inherently indicate an undisclosed third-party data flow.

Think something here is wrong?

Evidence and research improve when people push back. Tell us what to re-check — a misattributed domain, an outdated classification, a claim about your own app — and a human will review it. Responses can take up to 30 days.

If you leave an email it is encrypted at rest and opened only to answer you — never shared, never used for anything else. It is erased 30 days after we resolve this (or 180 days if it is still open) without you asking, and you can erase it sooner at any time; either way your correction stays, anonymously. Leave it blank and your request is fully anonymous from the start (we store no IP address either way).
