I don't buy that at all. Location data certainly is not recorded for (most) taxi rides today. A receipt is the piece of paper or electronic record showing how much your trip cost. Show me an example of someone using trip data as a primary form for handling CC dispute. Please also back up your statement that trip data has to be kept forever for government compliance. Lastly, what if my driver and I both want to delete trip data? Per your argument, is there an existing option to delete trip data then? I didn't think so.
