UBER wants to track you - Is it OK?



All free apps want to get something back in return. 
UBER is not free it is an app for using its service but, it wants your information anyway.


From the article:

Uber announced plans to update its privacy policy, controversially allowing it to track passengers and access additional personal information, even after users have exited the mobile app and turned off location sharing

“Even if a user disables the GPS location services on their phone, the company may still derive approximate location from riders’ IP addresses,” the complaint states.
