There is no reason for your driver to know your full name, address or any other personal information. Both Uber and Lyft use technology that keeps your personal details safe. Even if you need to call your driver before they arrive, your number is hidden.
Can Uber/Lyft drivers see passengers' addresses at a later day? No. After you pick up a passenger, even the waybill will change the address of where the pickup was originally.
No.Everything is routed through the system so that yours and the driver's numbers are kept private. Ever lost something in an Uber and called the driver only to get an uber voicemail? That's because you only have access to the driver before and during the ride temporarily.
Your driver sees your first name in their app, and your driver's first name is displayed to you in your app. To safely exchange names, you can ask, “Who are you here to pick up?” The driver may also ask you to confirm their name for their own peace of mind.
Uber drivers don't see anything but the first name you gave to Uber and whatever address you're being picked up at, or that you're having food dropped off at. We don't have any of your information at all, and after the ride or delivery is completed, the address gets deleted from the app.
The first red flag is very obvious and should be checked before getting in the car. You want to be sure the license plate on the vehicle matches the one that appears in the app. If it doesn't match with the app, or even worse they don't have a license plate, do not get into the vehicle.
U.S. Law EnforcementThe ECPA prohibits Uber from disclosing certain categories of user data without legal process, such as a subpoena, court order, or search warrant. There are also certain exceptions to ECPA's prohibition on sharing user data.
Uber uses software to detect accounts that might be engaging in fraudulent activity. Then, a specialised team manually reviews each case before deciding if fraudulent activity has taken place.
The feature also shows you what information the app deletes after specific orders. If you order alcohol, the delivery person is required to verify your age by scanning your ID, but Uber notes that your ID information is not viewable by the courier after delivery and that the scan of your ID is deleted after 72 hours.
We are committed to keeping our users safe, which includes making sure that people who use our app are who they say they are. For this reason, account sharing (allowing other people to use your account) is not allowed when you use the Uber Driver app to drive or deliver.
Driver screeningEveryone who drives with Uber is screened before their first trip. ¹ In addition, Uber reruns these driver screenings² at least every year and uses technology to look for issues in between.
We use technology to help keep your phone number private, so neither drivers nor riders will see each other's numbers when communicating through the Uber app. Once a trip is completed, the app also protects rider information by concealing specific pickup and dropoff addresses in a driver's trip history.
