Amazon and Uber Eats Drivers Capturing Residents in Photos: Invasion of Privacy?

hi, i’ve been staying at a friend’s apartment for a few days, working from the couch which faces the windows. nearly every day, an Amazon or Uber Eats driver rushes up the stairs, peering through the window as they look for the right apartment. we often lock eyes, creating an awkward moment. then they place the delivery down, step back, and snap a photo. i find this extremely unsettling. i’m in a private residence, yet the chance of me appearing in a photo has significantly increased. considering how Live Photos work on smartphones, the camera is essentially recording everything it sees until the photo is taken. also to note nefarious use and wide angle lenses… does anyone else find this invasive? how and why are Amazon and Uber Eats allowed to carry out such practices?
