Carmakers promise they'll protect driver privacy -- really

I blogged about this the other day.

Believe. It. When. I. See. It.

Among the promises agreed to by the automakers:

• Our members will not disclose the customer's geolocation data to the government unless the government produces a warrant or a court order.
• Our members will not market to their customers using identifiable personal data collected by the vehicle unless the customer explicitly agrees.
• Members will give customers clear and meaningful notices about the collection, use and sharing of any personal information generated by their vehicle.
• Members will maintain data security and implement safeguards, consistent with industry best practices, to control risks to data such as loss, unauthorized access, and improper disclosure.
• Our members will not share sensitive personal data collected by the vehicle with data brokers and other third parties unless the customer explicitly agrees.
• Our members will each have a dedicated web portal that will contain their privacy information.
