Uber retains your personal data for a period of time after you stop using the platform or your account is deactivated, including for legal, regulatory, and business purposes.
Your personal data — including location history, financial details, and communications — does not disappear when you stop driving for Uber; it continues to be held and potentially accessible for an extended period.
Data retention practices must comply with GDPR's storage limitation principle (Article 5(1)(e)), CCPA/CPRA deletion rights, and sector-specific retention requirements. Compliance teams should verify that retention schedules are documented, justified by specific legal bases, and that deletion requests are honored within required timeframes.

Uber collects extensive personal data from drivers and delivery people including real-time GPS location, biometric facial data, driving behavior, financial account details, and communications, and shares this information with a broad range of third parties including insurers, background check providers, law enforcement agencies, and marketing partners. Automated systems can make decisions affecting your ability to access the platform, and your data may be retained even after you stop using Uber. You can submit a data access, correction, or deletion request through Uber's privacy portal at privacy.uber.com.
