Treat everyone with respect
Respect isn’t always about what you say—it’s also about how you act
We believe that everyone should feel supported and welcomed when interacting with others in the Uber community. That’s why we’ve created standards and policies on threatening and rude behavior, post-trip contact, physical contact, discrimination, sexual assault and misconduct, and property damage.
Uber has committed to being an anti-racist company. Remember that when you interact with others in the Uber community, you may meet people who may look different from you, think differently than you, or come from different backgrounds. Please respect those differences.
Threatening and rude behavior
Aggressive, confrontational, and harassing behavior is not allowed. Don’t use language or make gestures that could be disrespectful or threatening. It may be a good idea to stay away from personal topics that can potentially be divisive, like religion and political beliefs.
Tips for drivers and delivery people
Keep conversations casual and friendly with customers, riders, merchants, and one another. Don’t ask personal questions or act aggressively toward others.
If you are the recipient of or witness to any threatening or rude behavior, you can report the situation to Uber. We’ll address any report in accordance with our policies.

Post-trip contact
Contact should end when the trip or delivery is complete, unless it’s to return a lost item. Unwanted contact can be seen as harassment and includes, for example, texting, calling, visiting, contacting on social media, or trying to visit someone in person after a trip or delivery has been completed. Do not share any unnecessary contact information.
Tips for drivers and delivery people
You should immediately alert Uber if a customer, rider, or merchant contacts you for any reason other than your current trip or delivery, or to return a lost item.
Tips for riders and Uber Eats users
Alert Uber immediately if a driver or delivery person contacts you for any reason other than your current trip or delivery, or to return a lost item.
Physical contact
No one on the Uber platform should be touched without their consent, period. Don’t touch strangers or anyone you just met while using any of Uber’s apps. Limited exceptions are permitted for people needing or requesting physical assistance (for example, riders using Uber Assist who may need help getting into and out of the vehicle). Hurting or intending to hurt anyone is never allowed.
Discrimination
You should always feel safe and welcome. That’s why we don’t tolerate racist or discriminatory conduct or behavior, including toward the Uber Support team or at Greenlight Hubs.
Do not discriminate against someone or act in a disparaging manner toward someone based on traits such as their age, skin color, disability, gender identity, marital status, pregnancy, national origin, race, ethnicity, religion, sex, sexual orientation, language, geographical location, or any other characteristic protected under relevant law.
Tips for drivers and delivery people
Intentionally refusing or canceling requests solely for the purpose of avoiding a particular neighborhood due to the characteristics of the people or businesses that are located in that area is not allowed.

Sexual assault and misconduct
We all value our personal space and privacy. It’s OK to chat with other people while remaining respectful. But please don’t comment on someone’s appearance or ask whether they are single. Sexual assault and sexual misconduct of any kind is prohibited. Sexual assault and misconduct refers to sexual contact or behavior without explicit consent of the other person.
Personal space and privacy should be respected. The following list (which is not exhaustive) provides examples of inappropriate conduct that should be avoided while using Uber.
01
Asking personal questions (for example, about relationship status or sexual orientation)
02
Commenting on appearance, making derogatory or “complimentary” comments
03
Making explicit comments or gestures, using slurs, saying graphic or suggestive things
04
Flirting (including nonverbal, suggestive flirting), or being too physically close
05
Displaying indecent material (for example, sexually suggestive objects or pictures)
06
Engaging in any kind of sexual activity while using the Uber platform (it doesn’t matter if you know the person and/or have their consent)
Property damage
Damaging property is never allowed. Some examples include damaging the car or other mode of transportation requested through the Uber platform, breaking or vandalizing a phone or tablet, intentionally spilling food or drink, smoking in a car, damaging a merchant’s premises, or vomiting due to excessive alcohol consumption or otherwise. If you damage property, you’re responsible for the cost of cleaning and repair fees, outside of normal wear and tear.
