A new study finds that automakers’ privacy policies have grown longer, more complicated and further beyond the reading level of many Americans.
In March 2024, I began a series of reports under a simple but disturbing question: “Is Your Car Spying on You?”
It asks an equally important question: Can an ordinary customer realistically understand the privacy policy supposedly explaining it?
The study’s 2024 analysis found an average of 7,505 words and a 12th-grade reading level.
Your car may still be spying on you.
