This week, the FTC published a blog post on the collection and use of consumer data in vehicles. The FTC warned that “Car manufacturers—and all businesses—should take note that the FTC will take action to protect consumers against the illegal collection, use, and disclosure of their personal data” and provided a summary of some recent enforcement actions illustrating such point. Note that this is part of a broader trend scrutinizing OEM data collection practices. You can read the FTC’s full blog post here.
