"Uber collects your location data from the time of trip request through five minutes after the trip ends, including when the app is in the background" -- Uber. Is this legally gray, or am I paranoid? Not-scary Interpretation 1: Uber collects location data from t_0 to t_1 regardless of whether or not the app is in the background. Scary Interpretation 2: Uber collects location data from t_0 to t_1 and when the app is in the background. I'm surprised they didn't start doing this 4 years ago. Location data is really fucking good data to have on people, which is why I would rather not be giving it away willynilly. Additionally, Uber's service is one of the few services where getting this data can be justified and seems less creepy.
