I came across a site today called Privacy4Cars (https://privacy4cars.com/personal-use/). It's a deep dive into automotive data collection and what may be done with that data by those that collect it.

At present, it offers a free service for requesting that auto manufacturers, lenders, and insurance companies limit what they do with your data.

It also has a beta service for a product that it will (apparently) charge for in the future and appears will request that a wider range of possessors of auto owners' data...do what...delete it, limit distribution of it, and/or ??? That wasn't clear to me.

I haven't paired a phone to my car or entered any personal data into it on my own and so was taken aback by the "Bank Vice President Who Got In An Accident" section next to the bottom of this page: https://privacy4cars.com/personal-us...ta-from-a-car/. I might've had a heart attack if I'd learned all that data of mine was left in my totaled car for anyone to access.

For this old guy, it's getting to be too complicated to keep up with it all.
