OnStar Begins Spying On Customers’ GPS Location For Profit
September 20, 2011 by Jonathan Zdziarski
"I canceled the OnStar subscription on my new GMC vehicle today after receiving an email from the company about their new terms and conditions... OnStar’s latest T&C has some very unsettling updates to it, which include the ability to sell your personal GPS location information, speed, safety belt usage, and other information to third parties, including law enforcement.
To add insult to a slap in the face, the company insists they will continue collecting and selling this personal information even after you cancel your service, unless you specifically shut down the data connection to the vehicle after canceling."
