What it can cost you

Downsides we could quote

Quoted clauses that can affect your privacy, money, or right to go to court — including terms that follow you to other products.

Highest-cost clauses first

High cost

Data sold or shared with third parties

You are agreeing that the company may sell or share your personal data with third parties.

“## How We Disclose Your Information We do not sell your personal information to third parties for money–no one can buy the personal information we collect from and about you and we do not act as a data broker.”

What that means: Your activity and identifiers can be used by companies you did not choose.

The document describes selling or commercially sharing personal data with third parties.

High cost

Location or sensitive-data over-collection

You are agreeing that the company may collect location or other sensitive data.

“This includes approximate and precise location through GPS and WiFi data, IP address, Bluetooth data, and any other location information you choose to share with us.”

What that means: Higher-risk details about you can be stored and shared under the same broad terms.

The company collects location or other sensitive categories of data.

Medium cost

Unilateral changes with little or no notice

You are agreeing that the company can change these terms and treat continued use as acceptance.

“## Changes to This Privacy Policy We may update this policy from time to time as the Lyft Platform changes and privacy law evolves.”

What that means: Rights you have today can shrink later without a clear opt-in.

The company can change the rules, often treating continued use as consent.

Medium cost

Indefinite retention

You are agreeing that the company may keep your data for an open-ended period.

“## How We Store and Protect Your Information We retain your information for as long as necessary to provide you and our other users the Lyft Platform.”

What that means: Old account data can linger long after you expected it to be gone.

Retention is open-ended or justified with vague business interests.

Medium cost

Children’s data

You are agreeing to terms that may still collect or retain data about children.

“## Children's Data Lyft is not directed to children under the age of 13.”

What that means: A child’s account or device can still generate a data trail.

The document addresses children but may still collect or retain youth data.

If these terms already apply to you

Keep this list. Fineprint cannot undo or cancel something you already agreed to at the company.

We cannot see Agree on their site. With Premium, tap “I accepted these terms” if you already agreed to what Lyft asks.
