“Visitors’ knowledge of the OnStar Smart Driver is no longer shared with LexisNexis or Verisk,” GM spokeswoman Malorie Lucich said, according to the NY Times. “The fact that the customer accepts this as true is a precedent for us and we actively compare our privacy processes and policies. “
Car brands collecting knowledge of drivers’ cars is nothing new, and some have provisions in their privacy policies that allow this knowledge to be shared with third parties. Much of this knowledge is now being used for semi-autonomous driving functions, and automakers employing cloud-based knowledge in their capabilities. GM’s OnStar Smart Driver feature includes such language in its privacy policy agreement that consumers sign with the dealership. It’s also worth noting that drivers can opt out of the Smart Driver feature at any time.
It’s unclear exactly how GM will continue to use driver data through the OnStar Smart Driver feature, but at least we know it may no longer share it with those two agents.
