Additionally, the old owner may still be able to access data from this vehicle or the manufacturer may collect data from you thinking the previous owner's consent is still valid. Tell us who is your dealer and we will contact them on your behalf: we have your back!

When a vehicle has its own, independent cellular data plan, it has "telematics". Vehicles with telematics can receive and send information without having to rely on the connectivity of personal devices synched/connected to it. Essentially, a car becomes like "a smartphone on wheels", and becomes able to broadcast data, including in real time (see Privacy Label for details). Telematics can also enable a number of "connected services" from live traffic updates to subscription services, from Over The Air updates to vehicle tracking and emergency calls, and much more. Importantly, the data connection in the vehicle may be "live" even if you are not currently subscribing to connected services.

Based on publicly available information from manufacturers, for every car, we have analyzed whether a telematics system exists or not (see links to these in "Reviewed Public Documents” section of this Report below). Here are the possible results:

Yes

This vehicle has telematics and could have a cellular connection independent of your own smartphone. This makes this vehicle like a "smartphone on wheels."

No

This vehicle does not have telematics, but DOES store personal data, making this car like a "hard-drive on wheels."

Sunset

This vehicle DOES have telematics, but the cellular connection no longer works (because it is 3G or older technology), so it is also like a "hard-drive on wheels."

Unclear

On rare occasions, it is unclear whether the car has telematics or not. These cars should at a minimum be treated like a "hard-drive on wheels."

Content

This section lists any actions businesses may have taken to protect the privacy of consumers in vehicles for which we have a record.

Vehicles both store locally and, if equipped with telematics, can send sensitive data to databases of various companies. Consumers can rely on these records to know who are the most trusted actors in the auto industry and become aware of the best practices that exist in the market.

Privacy Star

Businesses offer the highest privacy protection and trust standard in the market by deleting personal information from vehicles as part of their standard process. Consumers can trade in and return leases with confidence to Privacy Star businesses knowing their information, such as home address, garage codes, text messages, and more, is AutoCleared™.

Privacy Care

Dealerships build trust and transparency in each transaction by making a Vehicle Privacy Report™ available on their website's vehicle detailed pages.

Completed

Only companies who use Privacy4Cars multi-patented personal information deletion platform earn the AutoCleared™ badge. Privacy4Cars audits show that companies who claim to have a process to delete personal information but rely on the expertise of their personnel instead of on a prescriptive tool like AutoCleared™ typically leave personal information behind in 50-75% of cases.
