This study looks at how and with whom connected cars share your data

A new study shows connected cars are transmitting far more data to automakers, adtech, analytics, and third-party service providers than most consumers would expect, with companion apps often expanding the data-sharing footprint. For CIOs and technology leaders, this is a warning that privacy, consent, and third-party governance risks are now embedded in product ecosystems—not just corporate IT—making vendor oversight, data-minimization, and regulatory compliance strategically important to brand trust and operational risk.
