There's nothing about it being a private citizen on your "own time" either. You can record workplace conversations (again, legally, not necessarily to the betterment of your career...)

So the distinction is that its his phone as such he has custody and it is not uber's data? Seems like a pretty wishy washy line to me. If my employer wanted to record someome who comes into our business but we're not allowed under privacy law it would be legal if I do it as long as I use my own private phone. Even if I am on paid company time acting as their agent? Wouldn't the company still be liable if I did it while working for then?
Anyway not my sector/world but that seems pretty sketchy to me.
That said uber is a whole different ball of wax with the independent contractor thing.
