1Accessstated
Self-serve: you can request a copy of your data from Lyft's privacy page / app, covering account and ride information at no fee — but there is no live data dashboard.
Lyft Privacy Policy · accessed Jun 2026 ↗
1Deletionstated
Self-serve deletion in the Lyft app (Privacy → Account Security) or on the data privacy page, applying to both rider and driver accounts and not reversible once completed, but Lyft retains some data for legal and compliance purposes with no stated purge timeline.

1Sells / sharesstated
"We do not sell your personal information to third parties for money," but Lyft shares personal information for personalized ads, which "may constitute 'sharing' or the 'sale' ... for 'targeted advertising'" under some laws; opt-out via the privacy-sharing page.

1Trains AIstated
Lyft's privacy policy does not state that it uses your personal or ride data to train AI or machine-learning models — neither an explicit commitment nor a disclosed practice.

0API access — feeds Agent Readiness, not the /12stated
Lyft's published developer SDKs are deprecated and API access is directed to a Lyft Business contact rather than open self-service, so the consumer path to your own ride history is the manual "Download data" request on Lyft's privacy page, returned as an emailed link.
Lyft — Data Privacy (Download data) · accessed Jun 2026 ↗
Source-verified Jun 2026 from Lyft's own privacy policy and Help Center; the Friction, Deletion and request-path facts re-verified 8 Sep 2026 against both pages. All cells are "stated"; none yet "tested." Note: Lyft accounts are not covered by GDPR; CCPA applies for California residents.

8 Sep 2026Friction & speedsource
Score unchanged (1). Two corrections. The stated response time is now 30 days, not 45 — Lyft edited the sentence on its account-deletion help page (published as ev-2026-0009). And the quote was mis-cited: Lyft's privacy policy, updated July 1 2026, carries no response-time statement at all, so the citation moves to the help page that actually contains it. 30 days is the statutory period rather than a fast turnaround, so the cell stays at the moderate rung — consistent with Notion at 1 and Pinterest at 2 for a 48-hour turnaround.
8 Sep 2026Deletionnote
Score unchanged (1). Lyft documented an in-app deletion path (Privacy → Account Security) alongside the existing data privacy page, and the rationale now names it (published as ev-2026-0009). The cell still rests on the absence of a stated post-deletion purge timeline and the retention of some data for legal and compliance purposes; a stated timeline is the distinction that earns a 2 (R2).
