They claimed that the companies in question, including BMW, Volkswagen, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/nissan\/\">Nissan<\/a>, and Mercedes-Benz, admitted giving up sensitive data about customers to government agencies without a warrant. While the commission didn&rsquo;t comment on the letter, it did call out some of its actions in the past and what it expects from automakers now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2024\/01\/ftc-delays-introduction-of-new-dealer-scam-protection-measures-pending-court-case\/\">FTC Forced To Delay Rules Protecting Consumers From Shady Tactics After Dealer Tantrum<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Car manufacturers &ndash; and all businesses &ndash; should take note that the FTC will take action to protect consumers against the illegal collection, use, and disclosure of their personal data,&rdquo; the FTC said. For example, geolocation data is sensitive as it could track customers anywhere including to domestic abuse shelters, reproductive health clinics, or places of worship. The FTC called out a case against InMarket who allegedly used sensitive data to illegally group customers into specific groups.<\/p>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article\"><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n  window._taboola = window._taboola || [];\n  _taboola.push({\n    mode: 'thumbnails-a-mid',\n    container: 'taboola-mid-article',\n    placement: 'Mid Article',\n    target_type: 'mix'\n  });\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-organic\"><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n  window._taboola = window._taboola || [];\n  _taboola.push({\n    mode: 'thumbnails-oc-2x1',\n    container: 'taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-organic',\n    placement: 'Mid Article Thumbnails Organic',\n    target_type: 'mix'\n  });\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s also achieved settlements from companies like BetterHelp and Cerebral over disclosing sensitive data to third parties for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2024\/03\/carmakers-are-snitching-on-you-and-selling-your-driving-data-to-insurers\/\">advertising purposes<\/a>.

That seems like a very optimistic outlook for an industry that has leaned into the idea of making billions from data in recent times. On the flip side, customers concerned about the situation have a surefire way of avoiding the problem. They simply need to avoid owning a connected vehicle. Only in that case can they be sure that it&rsquo;s not collecting their data.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"e7c4c913-3924-4b2d-9279-6c00984dd130\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\" max-height=\"306\"> <\/div>\n<div
