Forensic analysis of ride-hailing app data – using ride-hailing services for forensic purposes
Ride-hailing apps connect drivers and passengers, generating booking, route and payment data which may be stored both on the driver’s mobile device and on the platform.
This data may be relevant for a forensic analysis of the course of a booked journey and the individuals involved.

Our staff have decades of experience in the field of information technology and assist companies, solicitors, private individuals and, on a regular basis, the courts in the technical investigation of complex digital matters.
The examination is, as a matter of principle, carried out exclusively on a forensic copy, a forensic image or a data source captured in a technically equivalent manner that preserves the integrity of the evidence. The original evidence remains unchanged and is stored in a manner that preserves its integrity.
Our services
We analyse available ride-hailing app data on secure mobile devices and, subject to the appropriate authorisation, draw on supplementary platform data for cross-referencing.
Typical areas of application
This is how a ride-hailing app analysis is carried out
Once the relevant mobile device has been secured, app data relating to the booking, route and journey history is extracted and, provided the necessary authorisation has been granted, cross-referenced with platform data.
Why is the analysis of ride-hailing apps relevant from a forensic perspective?
The recorded route and journey time can provide important clues for reconstructing an incident that occurred whilst driving.
The clear linking of a driver and a passenger to a specific journey may also be relevant from a forensic perspective.
