LexisNexis, which generates consumer risk profiles for the insurers, knew about every trip G.M. drivers had taken in their cars, including when they sped, braked too hard or accelerated rapidly.

    Do you really have to wonder if a free Google service is collecting and selling your data?

      Well it shouldn’t as I am an EU citizen. However I’m quite certain they should seek out to do so. I only mention it as someone should look into it, like the author of this article…

        What about being an EU citizens prevents from from collecting any data on you? They’re still able to collect a lot of data.

          They should confirm to gdpr rules. Ofc they can collect data, but they certainly can’t sell that personalized info to my car insurer, fi.

            GDPR is opt out, so you wouldn’t get any benefit until you complain. Plus:

            (GDPR) excludes “pseudonymised” data

              GDPR is opt out, so you wouldn’t get any benefit until you complain. Plus:

              Not really I must consent to an unambigious statement before data may be processed.

              https://gdpr.eu/gdpr-consent-requirements/

              (GDPR) excludes “pseudonymised” data

              Thats a bit too broad of a statement:

              Anonymization and pseudonymization are still considered as “data processing” under the GDPR—therefore, companies must still comply with Article 5(1)(b)’s “purpose limitation” before attempting either data minimization technique.

              While truly “anonymized” data does not, by definition, fall within the scope of the GDPR, complying with the definition is so rigorous that a data controller should be extremely cautious before attempting to use anonymization as a way to circumvent the GDPR completely.

      Fuck Google but they don’t not sell your data with your name attached to it.

        Given enough anonymous Metadata, it’s trivial to tie it to an individual. Especially when that data includes location data.
