For the people who were using FREENOW (originally from Germany), I just received a notification on the app saying it is now being acquired by Lyft, an American company.

Just thought I’d share it here.

Edit: If you’re planning to delete your account, see the comment by Alaknar on making a GDPR request. It’s quick and easy to do.

    In case you want to remove your account due to this, HERE’S a link to their How To, and HERE’S the link to the contact form.

    The process is very simple:

    In the ‘Main contact reason’ section, select ‘GDPR’ and in the Subject type ‘I want to delete my account’. Make sure to use the email address registered to your FREENOW account

      Excellent addition. I wish companies just deleted your data by default, but we know that’s sadly not how it works. Thank you.
