I have obtained an email from GM stating that if I am an OnStar Smart Driver subscriber, I cannot opt out of my data being shared. I believe this violates at least California privacy regulations, probably some other states, which mandate opt outs. I seriously want to rip the modem out of my car.
- staticautomatic 3y agoSome lawyer at GM is reading this and saying, "No private right of action FTW, suckaaaaaaa"
- yyyfb 3y agoPerhaps. This thing might be an easy win for a regulatory agency looking to establish itself though.
- staticautomatic 3y agoNobody in the privacy world is really holding their breath on the CPPA but maybe this could be the one!
- yyyfb 3y agoThe coda to the story is hilarious. CCPA apparently has an exemption (I'd say loophole) for the sale of personal information to consumer reporting agencies, as long as the use of that data is covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. So if FCRA allows it, CCPA says go right ahead!
- delfinom 3y agoWell you can file a CCPA violation complaint with the state AG. Especially because a "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link is mandatory. https://oag.ca.gov/privacy/ccpa#sectionh https://oag.ca.gov/privacy/ccpa#sectionh https://oag.ca.gov/contact/consumer-complaint-against-business-or-company https://oag.ca.gov/contact/consumer-complaint-against-busine...
