Uber India is implementing proactive measures to safeguard user privacy by deleting phone numbers shared in chats between riders and drivers. The company aims to prevent accidental exposure of sensitive information and potential unwanted contact outside the app. Additionally, Uber has introduced phone and address anonymization, concealing precise information from trip histories to enhance user security. The company also offers insurance coverage for riders and drivers in case of accidents or mishaps, providing financial assistance and peace of mind.

Uber Launches Pilot Program for Rider Verification
