General Motors has agreed to pay $12.75 million to settle allegations that it illegally sold the location and driving data of hundreds of thousands of California drivers to data brokers without their consent.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta said the automaker collected sensitive information through its OnStar system and shared it between 2020 and 2024 despite telling customers it would not sell such data.

Regulators found the data included precise location tracking that could reveal people’s daily routines and personal habits.

As part of the settlement, GM is also restricted from selling consumer driving data and is banned from doing so for five years, The Guardian has reported.

The case is part of broader scrutiny of automakers over privacy concerns tied to vehicle data collection and sharing.
