Car Data Privacy: Stopping the Sale of Vehicle Information Without Consent

This law grants citizens full control over data collected by their vehicles, such as location or technical status. Manufacturers and insurance companies cannot sell this information without the owner's explicit, active consent (opt-in). It also mandates reporting on data privacy practices and establishes guidelines addressing safety concerns related to domestic violence.
Key points
Car manufacturers and insurance companies must obtain your explicit consent before selling or sharing data collected from your vehicle (e.g., location data).
You have the right to easily revoke consent for data sharing at any time via the company's website or application.
New rules are introduced for car applications that track precise location to prevent their misuse in domestic violence situations.
