No car manufacturer passed Mozilla’s privacy audit, but Nissan’s is just absurd.

Consent to sale of your DNA implied by riding in the vehicle is a consent mechanism I would love to have a sassy US judge comment upon.

@Jeremiah Is there any car company that doesn't operate as a surveillance agency on the side?

PaigeMuffin,

@Jeremiah that is utterly revolting 🤮

@Jeremiah hmm. Not sure I understand how they are going to get your DNA, but an EU citizen could invoke their right to be forgotten by Nissan after riding in one. I’d love to see Nissan try to figure that one out.

sidharthrg,

@Jeremiah it is utterly horrifying to see the extent of the implied invasion of privacy. But I also find it strangely hilarious - that they are so brazen as to list it openly in the Privacy Notice and then pin all responsibility on the customer.

@Jeremiah

For privacy reasons I have never completed the Nissan-Connect setup procedure.
I trust the company does not know any of my personal details.

@Jeremiah @fasol did you have a conversation like this in a Nissan?
"... their TOS actually says, "You promise to educate and inform all users and occupants of your Vehicle about the Services and System features and limitations, the terms of the Agreement, including terms concerning data collection and use and privacy, and the Nissan Privacy Policy." "?
🙈🙈

I wonder hat the EU version looks like. It 'might' differ a little.

Why does this feel so much like the early shrink-wrap agreements in software?

quirk,

@Jeremiah perhaps they do this so that people will ignore the bigger problem of our over-dependence on automobiles.

@Jeremiah So, I know Skoda (a VW subsidiary) allows enabling offline mode in a service shop. They say it also deactivates the EU-mandated feature that automatically calls emergency services in an accident, so it feels like they really make the car offline. Has anyone looked into that? I couldn't find anything.

    @webuiltthiscity @Jeremiah @lisamelton I know this is naive of me, but I've never even thought about a privacy policy for a car. It must be because the newest vehicle I've ever had was a 2004, and I bought it used - I've never had a car with all the newest computerized gadgetry.

    @Jeremiah @brion wait, is nissan shipping dna extractors in their cars now?

    @Jeremiah

    I love the ones where you are supposed to inform your passengers of their alleged obligations and releases to the car company by getting in your vehicle. Yes, that's a normal thing people will certainly do.

    @Jeremiah Hence why I’m sticking with my 25 year old truck! 🤯 My car payments just come in the form of regular mechanical repairs, and I would much rather have that than today’s dystopia-mobiles!
