← Measured in the wild

experiment-allocation.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

experiment-allocation.yelp.com is a subdomain of yelp.com, the same publisher as the app (com.yelp.yelpiphone), and the name suggests first-party A/B test/feature-flag allocation rather than a third-party tracking service. The provided record shows no declared label content at all, which more likely reflects missing input than an affirmative 'Data Not Collected' claim, so I cannot conclude the contact is undisclosed; note that experiment allocation may still involve a device or user identifier, which a reviewer could check against the actual App Store label.

OpenAI — first-party

The domain is a Yelp subdomain and appears to support Yelp's experiment allocation, making it most likely a first-party service. The app declares no data collection or sharing, so this measured contact appears undisclosed.

Google Gemini — first-party

The domain experiment-allocation.yelp.com is owned by the app publisher (Yelp) and is used for first-party experiment allocation and feature testing. First-party functional requests do not inherently imply undisclosed data collection without additional evidence.

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 Tell us what to re-check — a misattributed domain, an outdated classification, a claim about your own app — and a human will review it.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).
