Postmates is owned by Uber, not DoorDash (Uber completed its acquisition on Dec. 1, 2020) — so DoorDash's $16.75 million NY AG settlement over using customer tips to subsidize workers' base pay does NOT extend to Postmates orders; Postmates should instead be read against Uber's record (see the Uber row), even though the app you opened still says 'Postmates.'

Terms
Arbitration
Likely governed by Uber's broader Terms following the acquisition; not independently confirmed whether Postmates retains a fully separate legal agreement this pass.
Data sharing
Postmates was acquired by and is now operated under Uber (acquisition completed Dec. 1, 2020) — see the Uber row for primary findings; the NY AG's $16.75M DoorDash settlement over tip-transparency practices (May 2017–Sept 2019) concerns DoorDash only and does not extend to Postmates.
