Why it matters

Your trip history and location data could be accessed by police or government agencies without your knowledge in response to legal demands.

Consumer impact

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.
