I’m curious where that’s from? News, or you made up from privacy policy?
Mozilla's analysis if the policies, see my other comment in the thread.
Okay, I found one.
https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/articles/its-official-cars-are-the-worst-product-category-we-have-ever-reviewed-for-privacy/
But I guess it’s to clarify what kind of data could possibly be collected and not that they actively collect and use them. I guess Ford can do that too, although they don’t specify in their privacy policy.
They’re not interested in your sexual orientation.
So fucking glad I got my car before they added all this shit.
It's going to prevent me from getting any EVs that come out that I can afford too. I'm not signing a fucking privacy policy for a car.
Yeah, EVs are the worst kind of the privacy-invasive cars I agree
My car has an antenna for a network that no longer exists and I'm so happy about it
But, like, why is that listed then? Why would Kia and Nissan say they collect information on your "sex life" and "sexual activity" respectively of they're not? What's to gain from keeping the window open if you're using it?
