Lyft updated its Privacy Policy on July 1, 2026, and added a reference to a new disclosure about the 'Freenow by Lyft' autonomous vehicle program operating in the United Kingdom. The updated terms now direct users to an external resource that describes the personal data collected and processed in connection with this AV program. This creates a new disclosure pathway for data handling practices specific to autonomous vehicle operations in that jurisdiction.
