A TNC driver organization may use the information in the list only for the purposes authorized by this chapter, and shall not provide the information to any third party unless that party is acting as the TNC driver organizationâs agent for purposes authorized by this chapter. A covered TNC shall not be liable for any damages caused by the TNC driver organizationâs or the boardâs failure to safeguard the list described in Section 7470.6 from a data or security breach.
