I believe that this is the same app I encountered on my mother's phone. She got it from Verizon and got a discount on either mobile service or the phone. It has a bluetooth dongle that plugs into the cars OBDII port. I tried talking to her about the privacy implications though I don't think I got through to her. From what I could see the app was slurping the location of the phone all the time, even outside the car.
- Cymen 7y agoThat sounds more like the car insurance schemes to give a discount by sharing your data. Are you sure she didn't opt into that? Just curious as first I've heard of such a thing outside of auto insurance.
- kbrosnan 7y agoIt was through Verizon. The insurance does not offer such a discount in their traditional offerings. https://www.amica.com/en/products/auto-insurance/discounts.html https://www.amica.com/en/products/auto-insurance/discounts.h... you need to get Amica Flexmile to have ODBII data collection.
