Uber can share your personal data — including your location, trip history, and identity information — with police or government agencies when legally required or when Uber believes it's necessary for safety or security, without necessarily notifying you.

Institutional analysis (regulatory & governance intelligence)

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: GDPR Art. 6(1)(c) (legal obligation) and Art. 6(1)(f) (legitimate interests) govern law enforcement disclosure in the EU, with additional constraints under national law implementing Directive 2016/680 (law enforcement processing directive). In the US, the Stored Communications Act (SCA, 18 U.S.C. § 2701 et seq.) governs government access to electronic communications data. The Driver's Privacy Protection Act (DPPA, 18 U.S.C. § 2721) restricts disclosure of personal information from motor vehicle records. ECPA governs interception and disclosure of electronic communications.
