NEW DELHI: IAF, Navy and Coast Guard have initiated the process to scrap their agreements with cab aggregator Uber as a precautionary step after some cyber security experts red-flagged the risks of potential data exposure and location tracking of military personnel and their families using the service.
IAF on Oct 18 signed an agreement with Uber to provide "reliable, convenient, and safe transportation services for IAF personnel, veterans and families", following similar MoUs inked by Navy and Coast Guard earlier.
"Adequate steps were taken to ensure data security was protected when MoUs were signed with Uber. But due to a huge controversy being generated on social media, the contracts are being scrapped after giving due notice to the cab aggregator," an official said.
