OnStar to Collect and Sell Your Data Regardless of Subscription to Service


By Brian Altenhofel - Posted on 22 September 2011

The LA Times has an article about OnStar's new privacy policy changes. It seems that OnStar has updated their policy to allow them to sell your private data in a supposedly anonymized form.

But the kicker?

And according to the new policy, data will continue to be collected from a vehicle even if the owner no longer pays for an OnStar subscription.

You don't have an option to consent. If you buy a vehicle with OnStar, you are consenting to this unethical invasion of your privacy.
