Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

Drivers' sensitive personal identifiers, including government-issued license numbers and dates of birth, are transferred to a third-party organization (IDG) which creates a distinct data sharing relationship with different privacy and security risks.

View original clause language

Lyft will share certain information it may have about you with IDG for the purpose of activating your benefits: Name and contact information (email, phone number, mailing address), Gender (if you provided a preferred pronoun), Date of birth, Identification numbers (driver's license number, TLC license number), Your preferred driving region/state.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This data transfer implicates CCPA/CPRA §1798.140(ah) as a 'sharing' or 'disclosure' of personal information to a third party, requiring disclosure in the privacy policy (which is present). The data shared includes sensitive personal information (government ID numbers, date of birth) under CPRA §1798.121. FTC Act Section 5 applies to the adequacy of consent disclosures. New York's SHIELD Act (General Business Law §899-aa) applies to disclosure of driver's license numbers, a specifically protected data element.
