Thank you for posting Olaf Classen.The Federal Trade Commission reached an agreement with the General Motors on the collection and usage of driver data. Under proposed order, GM and OnStar will be banned for five years from disclosing geolocation and driver behavior data to consumer reporting agencies. The order 1. Not disclose covered driver data to consumer reporting agencies: The proposed order would ban GM and OnStar from disclosing consumers’ geolocation and driver behavior data to consumer reporting agencies for five years from the date the order is entered.2. Obtain consent prior to collection: The companies must obtain affirmative express consent from consumers prior to collecting connected vehicle data, with some exceptions such as providing location data to emergency first responders.3. Allow consumers to obtain and delete their data: The companies must create a way for all U.S. consumers to request a copy of their data and seek its deletion.4. Allow consumers to limit data collection from their vehicles: The companies must also give consumers the ability to disable the collection of precise geolocation data from their vehicles if their vehicle has the necessary technology and provide a way for consumers to opt-out of the collection of geolocation and driver behavior data, with some limited exceptions.“GM monitored and sold people’s precise geolocation data and driver behavior information, sometimes as often as every three seconds,” said FTC Chair Lina M. Khan. “With this action, the FTC is safeguarding Americans’ privacy and protecting people from unchecked surveillance.”Gerry Kennedy @Thaddeus DziekanowskiVeritas GRC#cybersecurity #cyberriskmanagement #datasecurity
