On July 31, the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) announced a review of the data privacy practices of “connected vehicle” manufacturers and related technologies. Executive Director of the CCPA Ashkan Soltani stated in the press release that the agency is “making inquiries into the connected vehicle space to understand how these companies are complying with California law when they collect and use consumers’ data.” The vehicles in question contain tracking technology that raised data concerns under the California Consumer Privacy Act. Notably, this is the first action from the agency’s enforcement division.
