Carmakers are failing the privacy test. Owners have little to no control of the data they hand over

www.ctvnews.ca Carmakers are failing the privacy test. Owners have little to no control of the data they hand over

Cars are getting an 'F' in data privacy. Most major manufacturers admit they may be selling your personal information, a new study finds, with half also saying they would share it with the government or law enforcement without a court order.

I'm reposting this in every thread so anyone can see:

https://www.nissanusa.com/privacy.html

Sensitive personal information, including driver’s license number, national or state identification number, citizenship status, immigration status, race, national origin, religious or philosophical beliefs, sexual orientation, sexual activity, precise geolocation, health diagnosis data, and genetic information.
- Not sure why Nissan needs my sexual activity data but I can maliciously comply and make them regret asking for it.
  
  Keep sending images of goatse. But seriously speaking, it's probably not humans that are collating and sifting the data. It's all being fed to an algorithm.
  
  Humans have access to the databases. Now another human can go to the nissan'sheadquarters of their countries, and request by the law of this country, that nissan provides the name of every people who had gay sex in their nissans.
  
  Then they can arrest them and execute them.
  
  That's the issue with collected datas. You ignore when some totilarist government will access those.
  
  All the more reason to poison the data. Make them think everyone has a breadfucking kink and that they spend their Friday nights getting anally inserted baby carrots beaten back out of them by pimp bodyguards for $1,000.
- Wtf. Genetic information. So they can take your DNA after bringing your car in for service and sell it?
  
  You joke, but I could see some bean counting fuck being all over that business idea
  
  I was not joking at all - this is exactly what their legal stance is. I agree someone at Nissan is very likely thinking about how to make money with this.
- sexual activity
  
  What the fuck?
  
  Yes, exactly
  
  What how where and when
