Were the Lyft drivers personally identifiable? Or did they just find the location of anonomized drivers?
- toomuchtodo 9y agoPersonally identifiable using unique Lyft identifiers.
- OedipusRex 9y agoWhich includes what?
- toomuchtodo 9y agoNone of the sources I've read through itemize exactly what that means; they do mention that Uber was able to determine if a Lyft driver also drove for Uber, which means they knew the driver's personal details. Otherwise, if a Lyft driver did not also drive for Uber, I would assume they would not have personal information on the driver. We'll find out regardless through discovery.
- dx034 9y agoIf you have overlapping GPS info of Lyft and Uber you know it's the same driver. If not, you could still order a Lyft to get their phone number and make them an offer.
