Financial and Payment Data Collection

Why it matters

Collection of bank account numbers and government tax identification numbers represents some of the highest-risk personal data — a breach or misuse of this data could directly enable financial fraud or identity theft.

Consumer impact

Uber's driver privacy policy enables extensive and continuous data collection including precise real-time geolocation even when the app is backgrounded, biometric identity verification data, financial account details, and criminal background check results — all of which are shared with a wide range of third parties including insurers, government authorities, and advertising partners. Drivers have limited ability to opt out of core data collection practices since most are tied to contractual necessity for platform access, meaning refusing consent may mean losing access to the platform entirely. You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data by navigating to Privacy Settings within the Uber driver app.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Export Your Data
    Open the Uber Driver app, go to Account, then Privacy Settings, and request a download of your personal data to verify what financial information Uber holds about you.
