The way TechCrunch presents this, it seems even shadier than Uber's "we'll track you for the 5 minutes after you get dropped off" tactic from last year.
With no language addressing such tracking in the EULA, how is that legal?
- dahdum 9y agoSure they expressly said they don't in their Privacy Policy but then the CEO admitted they do in fact, but the T&C allow forced arbitration and no class actions. Unless the government wants to make a statement by pursuing them, there is no recourse except public shaming.
- peteretep 9y ago> Uber's "we'll track you for the 5 minutes after you get dropped off" Ah, is this how Uber knows my preferred pickup point near my condo? It's an excellent feature.
- passivepinetree 9y agoYeah, I believe the rationale was to know better where entrances and exits are to certain buildings. The idea is a good one, but many people were up in arms about tracking that wasn't expressly during the interaction with Uber the company.
