GM was collecting driver data, such as acceleration, vehicle speed, braking, and mileage, using its OnStar Smart Driver feature. Some drivers were reportedly unaware of that feature’s data-collecting capabilities. That data was being shared with data brokers LexisNexis Risk Solutions and Verisk, who’d then sell it to the insurance industry.
“OnStar Smart Driver customer data is no longer being shared with LexisNexis or Verisk,” said GM Spokesperson Malorie Lucich, according to the NY Times. “Customer trust is a priority for us, and we are actively evaluating our privacy processes and policies.”
