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
mobile-api.yelp.com is a subdomain matching the app's own developer (Yelp, bundle com.yelp.yelpiphone), so it is a first-party backend API endpoint rather than a third-party tracker. The declared label fields are empty in the provided data, which may reflect missing label data rather than an affirmative 'no collection' claim, so I cannot conclude the contact implies an undisclosed flow.
OpenAI — first-party
The contacted domain is a Yelp subdomain and most likely provides first-party mobile API functionality for the Yelp app. Because the label declares no collection or sharing, this app-originated API contact appears undisclosed.
Google Gemini — first-party
The domain mobile-api.yelp.com is an official first-party API endpoint for Yelp. Contact with a first-party backend for core app functionality does not inherently indicate undisclosed data tracking or sharing.
