Uber tracks everywhere you go, records your calls, photographs your face, and buys demographic profiles from data brokers — then feeds all of it into a vast advertising machine that includes Meta and TikTok. You can limit some collection but you can't use the service without surrendering your location and trip history for up to seven years.
