It turns out that the answer to the question of which devices have the worst user privacy policies may be waiting for you outside. The Mozilla Foundation said in a report released on Wednesday that cars are “the official worst category of products for privacy” it has ever analysed.
The global nonprofit discovered that 84% of the reviewed automakers shared user data with third parties, giving users little (if any) control over their personal information.
The nonprofit organisation’s minimum privacy criteria were not met by any of the 25 automakers analysed for the report, including Ford, Toyota, Volkswagen, BMW, and Tesla, which was also discovered to be collecting more personal information from customers than necessary.
The data that is gathered ranges from personal information, such as medical information, to information about how drivers use the vehicle itself, including how fast they drive, where they travel, and even what music they are listening to.
