ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes a cross-context behavioral advertising framework that involves both outbound data sharing with advertising partners and inbound receipt of third-party marketing data, creating a data combination practice that is subject to CCPA opt-out rights and GDPR consent or legitimate interest documentation obligations.

Interpretive note: The policy does not name specific third-party marketing data sources, so the full scope of data combination practices cannot be assessed from the document text alone.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Under this clause, Uber may share user identifiers and behavioral data with third-party advertising platforms such as social media networks and receive data from marketing partners to enrich user profiles for targeted advertising. California residents can exercise opt-out rights under the CCPA by submitting a Do Not Sell or Share request through Uber's privacy portal.

What you can do

  • Opt Out of Arbitration
    Navigate to privacy.uber.com and submit a Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information request to opt out of data sharing with advertising partners. California residents can also access this option through the Uber app under Settings > Privacy.
