This provision identifies the operational data-sharing structure under which personal data including home or work addresses, order preferences, and identity information passes from Uber to independent contractor drivers and third-party merchant partners who operate outside Uber's direct employment or data governance structure.
Under this clause, each trip request results in disclosure of the rider's name and location to a driver, and each delivery order results in disclosure of delivery address and order details to the merchant. The data governance obligations applicable to these recipients are governed by Uber's contracts with those parties rather than directly by this policy.
