[QUOTE="Late Life Crisis, post: 335824, member: 4152"] I am "attacking" this matter from two angles......firstly, I just finished writing an email to the Privacy Officer at General Motors ([EMAIL]privacy@gm.com[/EMAIL]) (that is the address from the privacy statement at GM Canada, which indicates that GM Corp is the collector of data, not GM Canada) with a request and requirement to immediately cease collecting data and further to delete previously collected data from my Stingray, gave 'em the VIN number. Second, after receiving information from a member of this forum (thanks, Rruff!), as soon as the weather warms a bit I'll make the effort to finalize the current location of the GPS module and either pull the power plug or remove the antenna connection. I don't believe I'm any more "anal" than most others, but the facts support the data collecting and further sale, I never agreed to that and nothing about that was mentioned during the sale process or afterwards, and it bugs the hell out of me that my information is sold or distributed without my knowledge and potentially to my detriment. Just did the same type of email to Toyota/Lexus for my daily driver, since they also collect data from the on-board gps/computer modules, although it appears they don't specifically sell said data. They've already acknowledged the email to Toyota/Lexus, and specifically stated that they would advise when such deletion/cessation of data collection was complete. L.L.C. [/QUOTE]
