The world’s most popular car brands are a data “privacy nightmare,” collecting and selling personal information.
- We’re in a time where“car makers have been bragging about their cars being ‘computers on wheels'”, says Mozilla who recently reviewed the privacy of 25 car brands.
- Tesla was the worst offender, according to the study, with Nissan coming in second and singled out for seeking some of the “creepiest categories” of data, including sexual activity.
- The study also found that a staggering 84 percent of car brands admitted to sharing users’ personal data with service providers, data brokers, and other undisclosed businesses.
