When you take an Uber ride or place a food delivery order, Uber shares your name, photo, pickup and dropoff address, and trip details with the driver or merchant fulfilling your request.
This analysis describes what Uber's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
Sharing your name, photo, and precise location with drivers and merchants is necessary to complete the service, but it means third parties outside Uber receive personal data that could be retained or misused independently of Uber's policies.
Drivers and delivery partners receive your personal information including your precise pickup and dropoff addresses, which may reveal your home, workplace, or other sensitive locations, and this data is shared outside of Uber's direct control once disclosed.

"Uber shares riders' and order recipients' data with drivers and delivery persons, including name, photo, rating, pickup and dropoff locations, and other trip or order details. Uber shares data with restaurants and other merchants, including order details and, where applicable, the rider's or order recipient's name and delivery address.— Excerpt from Uber's Uber Privacy Notice
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Disclosure of personal data to service partners such as drivers and merchants is generally permissible under GDPR as necessary for contract performance. However, Uber's role as data controller and the drivers' or merchants' potential role as independent data processors or controllers raises questions about the allocation of data protection responsibilities. GDPR Article 28 requires data processing agreements with processors, and Article 26 addresses joint controller arrangements. CCPA similarly requires service provider agreements to limit downstream data use. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The operational necessity of this sharing is clear, but the extent to which drivers and merchants are bound by data handling restrictions equivalent to Uber's own standards is not fully detailed in the notice. Misuse of shared data by drivers or merchants could create reputational and regulatory exposure for Uber depending on how responsibility is allocated in practice. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU/EEA users are protected by GDPR requirements around processor agreements and controller-to-controller sharing. California residents have rights regarding who receives their personal information. Jurisdictions with stricter requirements around the sharing of location data with natural persons may require additional safeguards. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Contracts with drivers and merchants should include data handling obligations consistent with Uber's privacy notice commitments. Procurement and partner onboarding processes should verify that data sharing agreements are in place and enforceable across all relevant jurisdictions. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should confirm that data processing or sharing agreements with all driver and merchant partners meet GDPR Article 28 or equivalent requirements, and that these agreements restrict secondary use of shared personal data. The notice should be reviewed to ensure it accurately describes the scope of data shared with these parties.
