The mileage Uber tracks for youThese days, the Uber driver app attempts to track all the miles you drive while you have the app open: your online miles. These can include the miles you drove on the way to a pickup, with a passenger — or UberEats delivery — in the car, and while waiting for your next trip.
When the courier accepts the delivery, they will see your first name and last initial, along with your exact delivery location and any customer notes you may have added regarding your order. Once the delivery is complete, the courier will see your delivery location, but not your house number or unit number.

You cansee on your app when the driver has collected your food. If you complain and get a refund, there's a chance the driver will not be paid.
Unfortunately, as with Google's SEO algorithms, no one fully knows exactly how Uber Eats trips are assigned. However, the app itself assigns trips; as such, customers do not directly choose their Uber Eats delivery drivers. The Uber Eats algorithms will consider multiple factors when selecting a delivery driver.
Engaging in fraudulent activities, even once, can lead to permanent deactivation from the platform. Normally you will receive up to 2 warnings before this happens, but this depends on the severity of the situation. You will always have the reason for your deactivation laid out in the notice.
