Uber drivers in the U.K. are filing a lawsuit against the company over allegations the firm has continuously broken European data protection laws.
div > div.group > p:first-child"> Four drivers are taking legal action against the ride-hailing giant, claiming the company is"failing to honour its obligations" under the EU's General Data Protection Regulation legislation.
In a letter sent to Uber this week, the drivers claimed it had breached the regulations by repeatedly failing to provide them with information, such as the duration of time they spent logged onto the platform, their individual GPS data, and trip ratings. "I can only calculate the hourly pay that they want me to," he said." trip information that includes start to finish location points, fares and durations for individual journeys, but providing all of my GPS data and log on and off times would allow me to calculate my hourly pay.""Giving us the data will help drivers understand if they can get a better deal or not," he told CNBC.
In a statement emailed to CNBC, an Uber spokesperson said:"Our privacy team works hard to provide as much information as we can, including explanations when we can't provide certain data the data doesn't exist or disclosing it would infringe on the rights of another person under GDPR. Under the law, U.K. citizens also have the right to escalate their concerns by contacting Uber's Data Protection Officer or the ICO for additional review.
