[QUOTE="Late Life Crisis, post: 335828, member: 4152"] 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. My actions in this regard are specifically directed at unauthorized data collection and use/sale by the car manufacturers in this case. A product that was paid for in full when purchased. They continue to make money from me, through parts/accessories/vehicle services, but that is my choice, not theirs. They shouldn’t have the right to surreptitiously collect and sell my information without permission or compensation to the end user. In a world of ever decreasing individual privacy and rights, it’s important IMO to take a stand and keep snooping to a minimum. FWIW a recent article from MSN also mentioned monitoring and data collection from so-called Digital Home Assistants like Alexa etc (which I don’t use) and even “Smart TV’s” Extreme? Maybe. But it all shows the creeping decrease in personal control of my/our information. I feel the need to limit that, speaking only for myself. L.L.C. [/QUOTE]
