AB 375 Privacy Implications for Drivers of Food Delivery Platforms

Existing law regulates third-party food delivery platforms that transport ready-to-eat foods.  A “food delivery platform” includes any online business that acts as an intermediary between consumers and multiple food facilities such as Uber Eats and Door Dash.  Existing law already requires these food delivery platforms to: (1) pay the entirety of any tip for a delivery order to the person delivering the food or beverage, and (2) disclose to the customer an accurate cost breakdown of each transaction.

Starting on March , 2025, AB 375 also requires these platforms to disclose to customers the driver’s first name and picture when the customer is notified that their purchase is out for delivery. An exemption applies to food delivery platforms if the food facility uses its own delivery drivers for the delivery of the order or receives the order through the food facility’s internet website or a third party that is not the food delivery platform.

A Union representing any impacted drivers may demand to bargain over the effects of this new law on driver privacy.
