Cars are getting an “F” in data privacy.
Most major manufacturers admit they may be selling your personal information, a new study finds, with half also saying they would share it with the government or law enforcement without a court order.
“Cars seem to have really flown under the privacy radar and I’m really hoping that we can help remedy that because they are truly awful,” said Jen Caltrider, the study’s research lead. “Cars have microphones and people have all kinds of sensitive conversations in them. Cars have cameras that face inward and outward.”
Nineteen automakers say they can sell your personal data, the notices reveal. Half will share your information with government or law enforcement in response to a “request” — as opposed to requiring a court order. Only two — Renault and Dacia, which are not sold in North America — offer drivers the option to have their data deleted.
A trade group representing the makers of most cars and light trucks sold in the U.S., the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, took issue with that characterization. In ato U.S. House and Senate leadership, it said it shares “the goal of protecting the privacy of consumers.” a stark contrast with Big Tech companies such as Facebook or Google. “Sensitive personal information” collected includes driver's license numbers, immigration status, race, sexual orientation and health diagnoses.
