• Authors: Carsten Hesselmann, Jan Gertheiss, J\"org P. M\"uller
• Abstract summary: We analyzed how popular ride sharing services handle user privacy to assess the current state of practice. The results show that services include a varying set of personal data and offer limited privacy-related features.

• Abstract: Digital services like ride sharing rely heavily on personal data as individuals have to disclose personal information in order to gain access to the market and exchange their information with other participants; yet, the service provider usually gives little to no information regarding the privacy status of the disclosed information though privacy concerns are a decisive factor for individuals to (not) use these services. We analyzed how popular ride sharing services handle user privacy to assess the current state of practice. The results show that services include a varying set of personal data and offer limited privacy-related features.

  Security measures such as anonymization are needed to protect individuals' privacy. Within our study, we conducted expert interviews to gain insights into practices in the field. We survey privacy-enhancing methods in use, which generally do not comply with state-of-the-art standards of differential privacy.

  We question whether the use of large Web-scraped datasets should be viewed as differential-privacy-preserving. We caution that publicizing these models pretrained on Web data as "private" could lead to harm and erode the public's trust in differential privacy as a meaningful definition of privacy. We conclude by discussing potential paths forward for the field of private learning, as public pretraining becomes more popular and powerful.

We find that the ways in which differential privacy is described in-the-wild haphazardly set users' privacy expectations.
