Rideshare
Privacy Policy
Last updated October 22, 2026
Rideshare is an iPhone and iPad app for comparing ride prices. This policy explains how the app and this website handle your information.
Rideshare has no advertising or analytics SDKs and does not sell personal information or track you across apps. You do not need a separate Rideshare account.
Information the app uses
With your permission, Rideshare uses your precise location while you use the app to find your pickup point. You can enter an address instead. Address searches, maps, and directions use Apple Maps services.
When you compare rides, the app sends your pickup and destination, requested pickup time, and the account and technical information needed for the request directly to the ride providers you connect: Uber, Lyft, Waymo, and Tesla Robotaxi. Sign-in information is sent to the relevant provider or its sign-in service. Their own privacy policies apply to information they receive.
These requests do not pass through a Rideshare-operated server. Rideshare does not book rides; opening a provider app may pass your selected trip details to that app.
Storage and iCloud
Connected account sessions and available account email addresses are stored in Apple's Keychain. Saved places, recent destinations, and preferences are stored on your device. Fare comparisons are held in memory rather than saved as a persistent price history.
When iCloud is available, Home, Work, and favorite places sync through your Apple account. Uber and Waymo renewable sign-in credentials and account email addresses can sync through iCloud Keychain. Access tokens, Lyft and Robotaxi sessions, and recent destinations remain local to your device. Apple handles these services under its own privacy policy.
Your choices
You can change location permission in device Settings, delete saved places and recent destinations in the app, and disconnect connected accounts in Rideshare's Settings. Disconnecting a shared Uber or Waymo account also removes its saved session from devices using your iCloud Keychain when the change syncs.
To remove saved places and account sessions, delete the places and disconnect accounts before uninstalling. Deleting the app alone may leave Keychain items, iCloud data, or device backups. Disconnecting does not delete your account or information held by a ride provider; contact that provider for those requests. You control iCloud and backups through your Apple account settings.
Website and support
This website does not set tracking cookies. Hosting and DNS providers may process standard technical information, such as your IP address, browser, requested URL, and request time, to deliver and secure the site. Apple may also process information when distributing the app through the App Store or TestFlight.
If you contact us, we receive the information you choose to send and keep it as reasonably needed to respond and maintain support records. We may disclose information we hold if required by law or to protect rights, safety, or security.
Changes and contact
Updates to this policy will appear here with a revised date. For privacy questions or requests about information we hold, contact rideshare@dstrat.io.
