Summary

This document explains what personal information Uber collects from drivers and delivery people, how Uber uses it, and who Uber shares it with. Uber continuously collects your precise location, scans your face for identity verification, and runs automated checks on your license and profile photo — with account deactivation possible if those checks fail. Your data is also shared with platforms like Meta and TikTok through tools built into Uber's apps.

Analysis

This privacy notice establishes the data collection, processing, automated decision-making, and sharing practices Uber applies to Drivers and Delivery People. Uber collects precise location data continuously while the app runs, biometric data through facial verification and Real-Time ID Check selfies, and sensitive background-check data including criminal records, aliases, license status, and right-to-work information at onboarding. Uber uses algorithms to make automated decisions affecting driver pay, trip and delivery matching, and credential verification, and uses the underlying data to train machine learning models. User data is shared with third parties including Meta and TikTok through tools embedded in Uber's apps and websites, and Uber subtracts service fees from all driver fares before remitting payment.

What this means for you

As a driver or delivery person, your precise location is collected whenever the Uber app is running, including in the background. Uber generates biometric data from your facial scans and uses automated systems to verify your photo and license, determine your pay, and match you to trip requests — account deactivation can follow if submitted documents or photos are found invalid by Uber's agents. Your data is shared with social media companies including Meta and TikTok through tools embedded in Uber's apps. If you want to understand or exercise control over how Uber handles your personal information, you can contact Uber through the privacy rights process described in the notice.
