Uber collects precise or approximate location data from drivers' and delivery people's mobile devices when the Uber app is running in the foreground (app open and on-screen) or background (app open but not on-screen) of their device.
This means Uber knows where you are at all times during your working hours — not just when you have a passenger — which creates a comprehensive record of your movements and could be used to make decisions about your account.
Uber collects extensive personal data from drivers and delivery people, including real-time location data continuously while the app is active, telematics data measuring driving behavior, government-issued ID and background check information, and potentially audio and video recordings from in-cabin devices. This data is shared with insurance companies, background check providers, law enforcement on request, and third-party business partners, and can influence a driver's ability to remain on the platform. You can access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data by submitting a request through Uber's privacy portal at privacy.uber.com.
