Summary

This is Uber's privacy policy for people who use Uber to get rides or order food and other deliveries. Uber collects your precise GPS location during trips, your name, phone number, payment details, device identifiers, and trip history, and shares this information with drivers, delivery partners, advertising platforms such as Google and Facebook, and, under certain conditions, law enforcement. If you are a California resident or EU user, you have specific rights to access, delete, or limit how your data is used, which you can exercise through Uber's privacy settings in the app or at privacy.uber.com.

Technical / Legal Breakdown

This document is Uber's Privacy Notice for Riders and Order Recipients, governing how Uber collects, uses, shares, and retains personal data from individuals who use Uber's ride-hailing and delivery services globally. The notice states that Uber collects location data (precise GPS during trips and, with permission, in the background), identity information, payment data, device identifiers, usage data, communications content, and biometric data in certain jurisdictions, and authorizes use of this data for service delivery, safety, fraud prevention, marketing, and research. The notice authorizes sharing of personal data with drivers, delivery persons, third-party business partners, advertising platforms including Google, Facebook, TikTok, Snapchat, and others, and law enforcement or government bodies upon request, which represents a broad third-party disclosure scope that users should be aware of. The notice engages GDPR for EU/EEA users, the California Consumer Privacy Act for California residents, and equivalent regional frameworks in Brazil, India, Canada, and other jurisdictions, and provides region-specific rights sections; however, the practical enforceability of certain data practices may depend on the jurisdiction in which the user resides and the applicable regulatory authority. Material compliance considerations include the notice's use of personal data for targeted advertising and cross-context behavioral tracking, the collection of trip-level location data retained beyond the active service period, and the broad scope of third-party data sharing, all of which engage multi-jurisdictional privacy regulatory scrutiny.

What changed Uber's Privacy Notice underwent navigation and footer restructuring on May 9, 2026. The header menu and footer links were reorganized, removing some navigation options and consolidating others. These changes appear to be editorial and formatting updates to the policy's web presentation rather than modifications to the substantive privacy terms themselves.
Why this matters This change involves reorganization of the Privacy Notice website navigation and footer structure rather than modifications to the substantive privacy practices or data collection terms. The underlying privacy commitments, data practices, and user rights described in the policy remain unchanged. No action is required by users in response to this navigation restructuring.

The core privacy policy language, data collection disclosures, and user rights remain as previously stated.
