The Federal Trade Commission alleges that GM and OnStar — GM’s subscription-based in-vehicle safety and security system — collected, used, and sold drivers’ precise geolocation data and driving behavior information from millions of vehicles without adequately notifying consumers and obtaining their consent.

The automaker was accused of collecting drivers' behavior data without their knowledge and providing it to third-party agencies that set insurance rates.

The FTC has reached a proposed settlement with GM, prohibiting the automaker from sharing customer geolocation and driving behavior data.
