You really shouldn't see any of that. I do lots of affiliate marketing and companies rarely give any more information than whether or not people met the requirements for me to get paid - and how much they are paying, if I'm on a revenue share deal.
It's really none of my business who they are and would be an invasion of their privacy for me to know - in my opinion.
I guess an argument could be made for refer-a-friend programs working differently, but the default should always be sharing this kind of data only on a need-to-know basis.
- dave5104 14y agoWell, according to Uber's referral program copy, in theory, you're referring your "friends" to the service. Aka people you know, and people who probably wouldn't mind you knowing they signed up. So I can at least see why Uber (and other referral services in general) might not think twice about sharing small pieces of personal information with the referrer. Not saying you don't have a good point, though, because I agree.
