Uber shares your personal information with third-party background check providers to screen you before and during your time on the platform, and these providers receive sensitive personal data including criminal history.
Background check data is highly sensitive and its collection and sharing with third parties is governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), which gives you specific rights including the right to dispute inaccurate information.
Background check data sharing implicates FCRA compliance obligations including adverse action notices, dispute rights, and permissible purpose requirements. Non-compliance with FCRA obligations creates significant regulatory exposure with the CFPB and FTC, as well as private right of action exposure.
