GM settles with 36 states for selling driver data, agrees to $220 million fine and reforms
General Motors settled with 36 state attorneys general for allegedly unlawfully selling driver behavior data to outside parties, agreeing to a $220 million fine and implementing reforms. The settlement concludes a multistate lawsuit over the unauthorized disclosure of personal driving information.
Why it matters: Automotive manufacturers and any company handling consumer behavioral data must review their data-sharing practices and consent mechanisms; regulators continue to penalize inadequate controls over sensitive customer information.
