Requires rental car company to delete personal information of customer from motor vehicle computer system upon return of vehicle.
This bill requires rental car companies in New Jersey to delete customers' personal information from vehicle computer systems when a car is returned. It defines "personal information" broadly to include navigation history, phone data, and garage door codes, and mandates deletion using NIST guidelines or manufacturer reset protocols. Rental companies failing to comply face civil penalties of $500 for a first offense and $1,000 for subsequent violations, enforced by the Division of Consumer Affairs. The law applies to all short-term rental businesses (hourly, daily, or per-trip) and takes effect immediately.
