Be careful, car companies are trading your personal data!

If you are about to buy a car or have already bought a car, then be careful. Because car companies are dealing in your personal details. Recently, the Federal Trade Commission forbade the famous American car company General Motors from selling the personal details of drivers and car owners for 5 years, after which the matter gained momentum and discussions started about the leak of personal data.

When you go to buy a car, you submit all your necessary documents there. You get the registration done etc. According to the report, car companies save your personal data without your knowledge and sell it to a third party such as an insurance company.

Personal data is not safe

According to Rushlane's report, car companies notice the driver's behavior and then sell their information to insurance companies and companies providing car loans. When you buy a car and access all the notifications coming on the infotainment screen, your data goes to the company. Then the company deals with that data.
