Uber shares data with ad intermediaries, including advertising or device identifiers, hashed email address, approximate location, current trip or order information, and ad interaction data, to enable their services.

Why this matters

A hashed email is still a durable way to recognize the same person across different companies.

What the policy says

We share data - including advertising or device identifier, hashed email address, approximate location, current trip or order information, and ad interaction data - with these intermediaries to enable their services and for such other purposes as are disclosed in their privacy notices.

Location If you allow it, Uber collects precise location until your order is delivered

What this means

Where precise location collection is allowed, Uber collects it from the moment you request a ride or place an order until the ride finishes or the order arrives.

If you allow precise location collection, Uber collects it from the time you request a ride or order until the ride is finished or the order is delivered.

Why this matters

It is bounded by the trip rather than continuous, which is a meaningful difference worth knowing.

What the policy says

If you do, we will collect your precise location from the time you request a ride or order until the ride is finished or your order is delivered. We also collect such data when you have the Uber app open on your phone’s screen.
