Arkansas sues GM over data collection and sharing practices

Arkansas sued General Motors and its OnStar unit, alleging the automaker deceptively collected and sold drivers’ telematics data (speed, acceleration, braking, late-night driving, and location) to data brokers and insurers without informed consent, which allegedly raised insurance rates and led to policy terminations. The complaint claims GM used deceptive onboarding, misrepresented OnStar’s purpose, incentivized dealer enrollments, and excluded disclosures from its privacy policy; the state seeks an injunction and civil penalties, including disgorgement.
