Samuel Goldstick Assesses Data Privacy Challenges for Automakers

Foley & Lardner LLP senior counsel Samuel Goldstick underscored how disclosure can help automakers reduce legal risk in the Automotive Dive article, “Automakers face growing data privacy challenges, experts say.”

“From a privacy perspective, it will be incumbent upon OEMs and other stakeholders in the automotive industry to inform users about data collection practices, potential risks, and how to protect vehicle data,” Goldstick explained. “Users should be given clear, easy-to-understand privacy policies and instructions on how to adjust data collection settings or how to opt-out completely (where appropriate) – or otherwise risk potential exposure to class action claims and/or regulatory scrutiny.”
