Your precise location, travel patterns, payment details, and personal information may be shared with entities beyond Lyft, raising privacy and data security concerns.
Consumer impact
Lyft's terms significantly limit your legal rights by requiring individual arbitration and waiving your right to participate in class action lawsuits. Lyft caps its financial liability to the amount you paid in the 12 months prior to any incident, which may leave you undercompensated if something goes seriously wrong. You can opt out of the mandatory arbitration clause by sending written notice to Lyft within 30 days of first accepting these terms.
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
To request deletion of your personal data, visit the Privacy section of the Lyft app or go to help.lyft.com and submit a data deletion request. California residents can also request access to or opt out of sale of their personal information under CCPA.
Applicable agencies
FTC
The FTC has authority over privacy and data sharing practices that may be unfair or deceptive, including inadequate disclosure of data sharing with third parties.
California's Attorney General enforces CCPA, giving California residents rights to know, delete, and opt out of sale of personal data collected by Lyft.
