Uber
This site leans hard on your data.
5/5 checks · 3 third parties · 0 cookies · capped at D
Uber concealed a 2016 breach exposing 57 million users and drivers, paying the hackers to stay quiet, and was earlier cited for letting staff track riders in real time. A clean marketing site can’t change that — and a homepage scan can’t see what the app does once you log in — so this grade can’t rise above a D.
