Your car is probably harvesting your data. Here's how you can wipe it

Amico is the founder and CEO of Privacy4Cars, the outfit behind a free app that lets individuals erase the astonishing amount of personal data - including text messages, biometrics and geolocation - that many automakers collect, store and often share with law enforcement, insurers and even data brokers.

Last month a Seattle-based federal judge declined to revive a class action lawsuit alleging four auto manufacturers had broken Washington state privacy laws by gathering and storing customers' private text messages and mobile phone call logs.

The judge ruled the practice did not meet the threshold for an illegal privacy violation under state law, which requires plaintiffs prove that "his or her business, his or her person, or his or her reputation" has been threatened by the harvesting of private data.

Cars collect an astonishing amount of data ranging from retina scans to text messages' contents (unencrypted!) But Privacy4Cars offers an easy way to wipe data retroactively via a free app and also check your vehicle to find out what data your car (1/2)
