General Motors is facing another lawsuit accusing the company of selling driver data to insurance companies, according to AutoBlog.
Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin has sued GM and its subsidiary OnStar, alleging that the automaker sold driver data to third parties, which then shared it with insurance companies.
The lawsuit has claimed GM deceived consumers by collecting data without their consent, arguing that drivers were misled to believe OnStar optimized vehicle safety, when it was actually being used to sell data and generate revenue, according to Griffin.
“We are reviewing the complaint,” a GM spokesperson told Consumer Affairs. “GM is committed to protecting consumers’ privacy.”
