CalPrivacy’s new Audits Division began its first formal privacy audit, looking at app-based ride, delivery and task platforms operating in California. It will test whether consumers and gig workers can find out what data is collected about them, how it is used and who it is shared with, and whether access requests are answered fully within the 45-day window. The agency says this is the first in a series of sector audits and that it will publish what it finds.

Each summary is ours, drawn from the public announcement it links to. Allegations are the regulator’s own, and a settlement usually comes without any admission. This page reports what was announced. It is not legal advice, and it says nothing about any site we audit.
