    I got an email from OnStar the other day saying it contacted my bank and updated my card info because I had gotten an old card and hadn’t updated the info, I don’t pay for OnStar but the dealership MAKES you set it up even if you don’t use it.

    How the fuck are they allowed to contact my bank and get information like that? Weirded my TF out to say the least.

      They did that to me. I specifically gave them a card I knew was going to expire before the trial period was over and they got the new information anyway.

      If I remember correctly, it’s a “feature” the credit card companies have so your subscriptions don’t lapse.

      At the very least… cant the US implement one of the basic rules from GDPR?

      In simple terms, what data can companies keep?

      Data need to have: OK

      Data nice to have: Not OK

        I’d much rather they implement the right to deletion. I know they will get their hands on a ton of data, regardless of how we write the clause. But at least let me delete that data when I want it gone.

        The US will absolutely not implement anything remotely like GDPR, because that would hurt the profits of a LOT of companies who happen to have a LOT of lobbyists on K street.
