← Measured in the wild

sp.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

sp.yelp.com is a subdomain of yelp.com, the app publisher's own domain, so this is first-party infrastructure; the 'sp' prefix hints at an event/telemetry endpoint but I cannot verify its function, so I do not classify it as analytics. Since the label data provided shows nothing declared at all (possibly incomplete rather than empty) and first-party contact does not by itself prove collection of labelable data, I cannot conclude the contact is undisclosed.

OpenAI — first-party

The domain is a Yelp subdomain and therefore most likely first-party. The app declares no data collection or sharing, so this observed network contact appears undisclosed.

Google Gemini — first-party

The domain sp.yelp.com shares the same parent domain as the app developer (Yelp), making it a first-party endpoint. First-party network contact alone does not inherently indicate an undisclosed data flow without evidence of undeclared data collection.

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 Tell us what to re-check — a misattributed domain, an outdated classification, a claim about your own app — and a human will review it.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