Nebraska attorney general sues GM and OnStar over data privacy violations

NEBRASKA, UNITED STATES, JUL 8 – Nebraska AG alleges GM sold driving data to insurers causing premium hikes and cancellations without consent, impacting thousands since 2015, with similar suits in Texas and FTC action.

  • Nebraska’s Attorney General, Mike Hilgers, initiated legal action in Lancaster County against General Motors and OnStar for allegedly selling driving data of Nebraskan drivers without their permission.
  • The suit follows allegations that GM used deceptive tactics since 2015 to enroll customers in OnStar services and sold detailed driving data to third-party brokers.
  • Collected data included speed, trip times, location, seatbelt use, and was used by insurers to create driving scores affecting rates and coverage.
  • Hilgers emphasized that residents of Nebraska should be able to trust the companies they deal with, as the state pursues $2,000 in penalties for each violation along with restitution.
  • The lawsuit under consumer protection laws aims to stop GM and OnStar's data practices, coming amid a similar Texas suit and an FTC five-year ban on such disclosures.
