I do not have to worry about this as we do not have uber drivers in Lakeland. However, on the Bay news last night there was a story that Uber is collecting information about their riders such as their location or something. I could not hear the speech very well, no hearing aids in, but I did hear people are really getting angry at the invasion of privacy. Has anyone heard about this? Perhaps their new policy has muckf up the app?

However, I haven't been getting Uber receipts for quite some time, the reason being that in the app's settings for my account, my e-mail address is incorrect. So I edited the e-mail address and clicked "Save", and it then asked me for a password, which I've forgotten and can't find it written down anywhere. Both in the app and on the Uber web site, their password recovery process is unsatisfactory; in both cases I'm asked for my mobile number, and there's another text entry field which is unlabeled so I don't know what's required. Furthermore, I can't seem to find any support number that I can call. Is there such a thing? What's the easiest way to fix my e-mail address on record and recover my password or set a new one? I'm puzzled by this and just a tad bit annoyed. Thanks in advance.
