Automakers should not even have access to any of your information!

No company or entity should have the ability to sell my information. And at the very least not have access to it without my consent.

Especially if it influences how much I pay for insurance. Next thing you know, if you live near a McDonalds, your health insurance is gonna go up.

Demand GDPR. No ifs, no buts. Its even written in several languages.
