Uber collects an unusually broad range of personal data from drivers and delivery people, including continuous GPS location, biometric facial recognition data for identity verification, financial account details, and behavioral/performance data that feeds automated decision-making systems capable of suspending or deactivating accounts. This data is shared with a wide network of third parties including insurance providers, background check agencies, law enforcement agencies (without requiring a warrant in some circumstances), fleet operators, and research partners — meaning drivers have limited practical control over where their data flows. You can submit a data access, deletion, or correction request directly through the Uber app under Account > Privacy, or via the online privacy portal at privacy.uber.com.
