Send us Fan MailYour Car Is Spying on YouIn this episode of The Privacy & Freedom Podcast, Forrest Garvin exposes a truth most people never consider — your car is one of the most powerful surveillance devices you own. From built-in GPS trackers and microphones to data-sharing apps and telematics, modern vehicles quietly collect your movements, contacts, driving habits, and even conversations.Forrest breaks down how automakers, insurers, and tech partners harvest massive amounts of personal data every time you start the engine. He explains how this information is sold, traded, and stored — creating a complete digital dossier of your life behind the wheel. Most drivers have no idea their car knows where they sleep, work, and worship… and who’s in the passenger seat.You’ll also discover practical steps to reduce exposure — from disabling unnecessary connections and removing old paired phones, to deleting stored navigation data and limiting app permissions. Forrest introduces Privacy4Cars, a powerful tool designed to help you erase personal information from your vehicle before it’s sold, rented, or serviced.At Garvin Academy, Forrest teaches how to defend every part of your digital life — not just your phone or laptop, but the hidden technologies tracking you every day. Because privacy and security are freedom, and protecting that freedom starts with awareness and action.SEO Keywordscar privacy, vehicle data tracking, Privacy4Cars, connected cars, automotive surveillance, Forrest Garvin, Garvin Academy, car data deletion, telematics privacy, digital security, car hacking, data collection, online privacy, disappear on the internet, privacy and security, personal freedom  Take back control of your online privacy with Proton Mail, the world’s most trusted encrypted email service.
