What it is

Uber collects data about drivers' trips and their use of the Uber apps including the date and time, requested and actual pickup and dropoff location, distance traveled, route, payment, and whether a customer rated their driver a lower-than-average rating. Uber also collects telematics data from drivers' use of the Uber Driver app including speed information, GPS/location data, acceleration, deceleration/braking, and device orientation and tilt.

Why it matters

Telematics data is used to make decisions about your driver account, including potential deactivation. You have limited visibility into how these scores are calculated and limited ability to challenge adverse decisions.

Consumer impact

Uber collects extensive personal data from drivers and delivery people, including real-time location data continuously while the app is active, telematics data measuring driving behavior, government-issued ID and background check information, and potentially audio and video recordings from in-cabin devices. This data is shared with insurance companies, background check providers, law enforcement on request, and third-party business partners, and can influence a driver's ability to remain on the platform. You can access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data by submitting a request through Uber's privacy portal at privacy.uber.com.

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.
