Why it matters

Your trip history and behavior can be used to build a detailed profile for advertising purposes, and this data may be shared with many third parties you have no direct relationship with.

Consumer impact

Lyft collects extensive personal data including real-time GPS location, trip history, payment information, device identifiers, and communications, which are used for service delivery, targeted advertising, and shared with third-party partners. Drivers are subject to additional data collection including background check results, identity verification, and insurance-related information sharing. You can opt out of certain data sharing for advertising purposes by visiting Lyft's privacy settings in the app or submitting a request through Lyft's privacy portal at https://privacy.lyft.com.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Delete Your Data
    Visit https://privacy.lyft.com and submit a 'Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information' request. California residents can also opt out through the Lyft app under Privacy Settings.
