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 renters' personal information (such as navigation history, phone data, or garage door codes) from vehicle computer systems when a rental vehicle is returned. Rental companies must use NIST-approved data-clearing methods or factory resets to erase this data. Violations carry civil penalties of $500 for a first offense and $1,000 for subsequent offenses, enforced by the Division of Consumer Affairs. The bill directly affects renters whose data is stored in rental vehicles and rental companies operating in New Jersey.
