Digital services like ride sharing rely heavily on personal data as individuals have to disclose personal information in order to gain access to the market and exchange their information with other participants; yet, the service provider usually gives little to no information regarding the privacy status of the disclosed information though privacy concerns are a decisive factor for individuals to (not) use these services. We analyzed how popular ride sharing services handle user privacy to assess the current state of practice. The results show that services include a varying set of personal data and offer limited privacy-related features.
