Carmakers can legally record your texts, calls, rules judge
Seattle-based judge rules automakers collecting data via car infotainment does not meet threshold for privacy violation under state law
That's the second time you've used caveat emptor Mr. secret lawyerYou bet they are. It’s been proven. Nobody reads the EULA . For anything, they just click on install in the case of software for example. Caveat Emptor . This is the GM privacy policy from 2023 , the most recent version I could find, and I doubt it has improved. Read it and weep.
Sorry.That's the second time you've used caveat emptor Mr. secret lawyer
That sucks . Although I would think that the front lift would only be affected regarding the gps memory function and should still work manually. I’m thinking that if one placed a switch in the right location interrupting power or data flow to the device, similar to your suggestion to disconnect the cable that you could enable the system when over the air updates are announced and then disconnected it again. Needs more research but if that were possible it would be a good compromise.Somebody on another forum pointed out that the GPS for the front lift is in the OnStar module. Not only that, but the OTA updates won't work without the OnStar system.
I can see a new thread on it's way. 'Re-wiring Your C8 Corvette Made Easy'That sucks .

I’m surprised it’s only ” low ” millions .If you read the article check the last sentence. We are just dollar signs.
GM Ends Program that Shared Customer Driving Data with Brokers and Insurance
GM Ends Program that Shared Customer Driving Data with Brokers and Insurance Companies - Corvette: Sales, News & Lifestyle
After a New York Times article that outed General Motors for sharing the driving data of their customers with insurance companies, GM announced on Friday they are ending the controversial program.www.corvetteblogger.com
Well, I may end up doing that eventually. Having said that, frankly I’m not sure that the data they may have purchased from, say LexisNexis (which does have a Canadian operation and a Canadian website) would show any extreme operational issues. I don’t track the vehicle, it’s primarily used for touring, etc.Why dont you write to a few insurance companies to see if they even collect/buy the data in Canada? Insurance is highly regulated and I could see buying data through a side deal with GM being illegal
Yup. They did. But they didn’t state how the previously collected data would be handled or secured, which is why I requested deletion of previously collected data. Not sure they’ll actually do that, but I have the request on file in my email, so they might have some explaining to do if it turns out they kept it and it surfaces, like any statement from an insurance provider, the privacy acts in the U.S. are actually more strict than here, except for their government data collection. Didn’t cost me much to request/require that deletion, except a few extra electrons to add to the email.but didnt GM already announce that it's no longer selling the data to anyone?
