Investigation finds car brands are collecting and sharing data with third parties

Oct. 9, 2024 - 16:52 By ABC NEWS (Australia)

An investigation by consumer advocacy group choice has revealed most of the popular car brands are collecting and sharing driver data. The research found companies harvest details - ranging from braking patterns to video footage and share that information with third parties. While customers are able to opt-out of data collection, they are often automatically opted-in when buying a vehicle or downloading a car's app. Privacy and consumer advocates want the law changed to limit data collection to what's fair and reasonable.
