GM Banned from Selling Driver Data - 11d

General Motors and OnStar are banned from disclosing consumers’ geolocation and driver behavior data to consumer reporting agencies for five years. The FTC launched an investigation after reports that GM collected data about customers’ vehicle use and sold it to third-party platforms used by insurance companies without adequate consent, specifically from the OnStar Smart Driver program. GM has now stopped sharing sensitive information with data brokers and must take additional steps to increase transparency for its customers.
