This provision establishes a broad license over user-submitted information that is stated to be perpetual and irrevocable, meaning it persists even after a user closes their account or stops using the platform. The sublicensable and transferable nature of the license means Lyft may authorize third parties to use this information under the same rights.
Under this clause, any information a user submits to the Lyft platform, including profile data, feedback, and social media interactions, is subject to a license that Lyft retains permanently and that cannot be revoked, covering use in derivative works and any media format. The agreement states users retain ownership of their information, but the scope of the license granted to Lyft is not time-limited.
