Nissan earned its second-to-last spot for collecting some of the creepiest categories of data we have ever seen. It’s worth reading the review in full, but you should know it includes your “sexual activity.” Not to be out done, Kia also mentions they can collect information about your “sex life” in their privacy policy. Oh, and six car companies say they can collect your “genetic information” or “genetic characteristics.” Yes, reading car privacy policies is a scary endeavor.
While they’re all bad, Nissan is a no for me. Also between this, the dangerous recalls, and the theft issue, Kia is falling even further down my list

As expected, Tesla has the worst privacy rating
Second worst were these ones:

Kia has the whole “getting stolen really easily” thing right now, as well…
Why does it not surprise me to see a certain elongated muskrat razing privacy policies to the floor, again
