Seems it’s not a good time for ride companies. Following a whole series of allegations of questionable practices at Uber – some of them relating to abusing customer data – similar claims are being made about ride-sharing company Lyft …
The Information reports that the company is investigating allegations that employees accessed ride data for personal reasons.
Lyft confirmed that engineers would have access to the data, but a former employee said that safeguards included tracking access requests.
Lyft told Reuters that any employee found to be abusing customer data in this way would be dismissed.
Back in 2016, Apple reportedly considered acquiring the ride-share company, before making a $1 billion investment in Chinese ride-hailing service Didi Chuxing instead.
