Connected cars, dealer CRM and telematics make automakers fiduciaries for drivers as well as employees.
In short
Location, driving and identity data need consent, minimization and security across the OEM-to-dealer chain. Penalties reach ₹250 crore.
What changes for this sub-sector.
Location, telematics and driver-behaviour data is personal data needing consent and minimization.
Dealer and after-sales CRM data carries personal data; contract and oversee dealers.
Data collected for service or safety cannot silently power marketing or profiling.
Drivers can access, correct and erase their vehicle and profile data.
Watch where connected-car data is stored and processed across borders.
Vehicle and account data is a growing attack surface; secure it end to end.
Fix connected-car consent and dealer contracts first.
