Uber continuously collects your precise GPS location data while you are active on the platform, including during trips and deliveries, and may also collect location data when the app is running in the background.
Continuous location surveillance creates a detailed record of your movements that is shared with riders, other users, and third parties, raising significant privacy concerns.
Continuous location data collection implicates GDPR Article 6 lawful basis requirements and CCPA sensitive personal information provisions. Compliance teams should assess whether consent or legitimate interest is the relied-upon basis and whether opt-out mechanisms meet regulatory standards.
