Uber Technologies Inc. Has agreed to pay 20,000 dollars and strengthen its privacy policies to settle an investigation by New York's attorney general, according to media reports on Friday.
The probe began after the company was accused of using "God View" tool to monitor the whereabouts of passengers.
Uber also agreed to pay a 20,000 dollar fine for not informing affected drivers in a timely manner during the 2014 security breach.
The breach, which affected 50,000 drivers, occurred in May 2014 and was discovered by Uber in September 2014. But Uber did not disclose the breach to drivers or the public until February 2015.
According to the settlement, Uber must also encrypt GPS-based location information and authenticate any employee accessing this data for business purposes.
An Uber spokeswoman told the Wall Street Journal that the company was "pleased to have reached an agreement".
