This provision authorizes disclosure of user data, including location history, trip records, communications, and payment information, to law enforcement and government authorities in response to formal and informal legal requests, and includes discretionary disclosures for safety purposes that extend beyond mandatory legal process.
Interpretive note: The policy's reference to 'governmental requests' without limiting the term to legally compelled requests creates ambiguity about the scope of permissive disclosures that cannot be resolved from the document text alone.
Under this clause, Uber reserves the right to disclose personal data including trip history, location records, and communications to law enforcement and government authorities upon receipt of applicable legal requests, as well as at Uber's discretion for safety or property protection purposes. The scope of permissive disclosures beyond mandatory legal process depends on the applicable law and Uber's internal assessment standards.
