Well in this case data is collected and sent to various third-parties even without you willingly entering any data on the website manually.

The best bypass for this process is to cut Ubereats entirely out of the picture and call the local restaurant directly to place your order. Ubereats in this case is a third party so what difference does it make? None of you start to think about it.
Because Uber Eats provides me some service that I value and I am happy for them to be part of the process as a result.

TikTok, Facebook, Google, etc following me around provides me no value on the other hand - in fact, I have no account with any and would not see their ads even if I wanted to, so it's technically in their best interest to not waste processing power on stalking me.
