I would like to know specifically how a car company can collect sexual activity and genetic information. The genetic information thing really sounds like FUD.
Is it FUD if it’s a direct quote from Nissan’s privacy policy?
I’m sure it’s there and I’m sure they wish they could get that info. I just don’t see how they could beyond making some pretty wild inferences.
I could see certain accessibility settings of cars such as color blind settings, bold text, even physical personalization ordered for the car based on hereditary or not genetic conditions falling into that category.
Some companies will find that information useful for ads I suppose.
Maybe from genetic testing companies that sell that to data brokers, which a car company could enrich your personal information with?
Not to mention some of the other information listed like sleep patterns. How do they get that data?
