Car Privacy Rights Act of 2024

S 5282, the Car Privacy Rights Act of 2024, requires car manufacturers, insurers, and other entities collecting vehicle data to obtain explicit consumer consent before sharing or selling that data. It mandates clear, standalone notices explaining exactly what data is shared and for what purpose, with consumers able to easily revoke consent. The bill also requires annual reports from car companies and insurers detailing data collection practices, and directs the FTC to issue guidance on protecting domestic violence victims from location data misuse. Enforcement aligns with the FTC Act, treating violations as unfair or deceptive practices.
