Uber app are you cyber stalking me? I've noticed you send me time limited discounts and they happen to be when I have events in Seattle (I live and work on the Eastside). Your app is correlating my Google calendar entries (which only have after work events), my GPS location history, and sending me timely promos yeah?! Creepy fucks, and thanks for the promo code. Typing from my Uber ride on my way back to the park and ride lot in Eastside. Oh and keep sending promos cause I normally take the bus back.
Happened to me as well!
Don’t be paranoid
When I stopped taking morning ubers to work, several times when I took the bus, as soon as I got to work, it would send me a notification for a discount. It happened several times. I thought the timing was suspicious, until I checked my email and the offer was applied much earlier in the morning, but they only sent the mobile notification later.
This BS will stop once CCPA comes in.
Why is this a bad thing?
OP you made yourself embarrassed as professional working in tech. This is called personalized targeting.
Yeah I know what this is...
Don’t share location and calendar with Uber, if you don’t want them to know.
