Ohio to Receive $8 Million From General Motors Settlement

Ohio will receive more than $8 million from a settlement with General Motors over allegations that the company illegally sold consumers’ driving behavior and location data to third parties. GM is required to pay $220 million in the settlement that centers around its Smart Driver program and the drivers who were enrolled in it between 2016 and 2024. The settlement requires GM to limit the driving data it collects from consumers and protect their personal information going forward.
