But do you realize how much your car knows about you? Think about it. You let it know your location every time you open the navigation app. It knows all your friends' contact information when you sync your contacts. It hears all your conversations with the Bluetooth functions and can gather text messages, social media interactions, browser histories, calendar entries, and more. Once you realize the frightening amount of information your car holds on the other side of the steering wheel, you're likely thinking, "How do I make sure my information stays secure and private?" In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels sit down with Andrea Amico, Founder of Privacy4Cars, to discuss how you can regain control of your car's data collection. Andrea talks about the types of data your car collects, protecting your privacy, and how Privacy4Cars services can help.
