Understanding Sexual Assault

This module will help you understand the actions that are never tolerated when using Uber.

Things to Remember

  • Uber’s Community Guidelines prohibit sexual assault or misconduct of any kind
  • Sexual assault and misconduct refer to sexual contact or behavior that occurs without explicit consent of the other person
  • Sexual assault is against the law
  • Uber has a no sex rule — so you should never inappropriately touch or kiss people you don’t know or engage in any sexual activity with other riders or driver-partners

Appropriate Social Interactions

This module will help you understand appropriate social interactions, regardless of whether or not you know the person, during a trip.

Uber’s Community Guidelines were developed to help make every experience feel safe and respectful. Aggressive, confrontational, and harassing behavior is not allowed. Additionally, sexual activity is prohibited while using the Uber app, during a trip or on a delivery, regardless of whether or not you know the person or they give their consent. This means activities such as sexual intercourse, solicitation of sexual activity, masturbation, or exposure of sexual body parts is not allowed.

Appropriate Behavior in a Shared Space

This module will help you understand appropriate behavior and how to respect each other's privacy during a trip.

Remember, using Uber is a shared experience and everyone has a role to play in creating a safe environment. Respecting people’s privacy and the shared space is important. This means you should not take photos or videos of others without their consent or display or view inappropriate or pornographic content in the car.

Note: If a driver-partner is using a recording device, such as a dashcam, local regulations may require them to fully disclose that riders are being recorded and obtain consent. Learn more here.

Respecting Personal Space

This module will help you understand appropriate body language and gestures during a trip.

Things to Remember

  • Be mindful of prolonged eye contact as this behavior can make others feel uncomfortable
  • Explicit gestures and physical or sexual contact between riders, driver-partners, and co-riders are prohibited by Uber’s Community Guidelines
  • If a rider falls asleep in the car, you may want to try raising your voice or turning up the music to wake them

Comfortable Conversations

This module will help you understand what conversation topics are appropriate during a trip.

Things to Remember

  • Asking someone how their day is going is an easy way to figure out if they want to talk
  • General topics like movies, music, or the weather can keep conversations respectful
  • Questions that may seem harmless such as “are you single?” or “are you heading home tonight?” can be intrusive and invade someone's sense of privacy or safety
  • Flirting and making explicit remarks are unacceptable per Uber’s Community Guidelines
