Connected Car
The enforcement division of the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) recently announced it intends to review the privacy practices of connected vehicles. Key among this data is the vehicle’s location. When combined with personal information and/or third-party data or mapping services, location information can unveil intricate details about a person’s preferences and habits. CPPA’s announcement implies they are looking at both the information collected about people in the connected vehicles and also information captured about other devices near the vehicle. Chinese regulators have expressed concerns, while the European Commission is working on regulations to ensure equitable access to vehicle data.
