Car companies, such as Nissan and Kia, are collecting sensitive personal information from their customers, including details about their sex lives. Nissan’s privacy policy explicitly states that it may collect data on “sexual activity” along with other personal information like health and genetic data. Kia’s privacy policy also mentions collecting information about customers’ sex lives and political opinions. This trend of data collection extends beyond just these two companies, with Uber previously boasting about tracking customers’ one-night stands. Despite these invasive privacy policies, many consumers continue to buy cars from these companies, suggesting either a lack of concern or a failure to read privacy policies. Mozilla’s Privacy Not Included project has highlighted the privacy nightmare that modern cars pose. In conclusion, car companies’ data collection practices raise serious privacy concerns, and consumers should be more aware and cautious about the information they share.
