OnStar Amends Its Terms Of Service To Allow For Tracking Without Consent

Vehicle assistance service OnStar has always struck me as slightly creepy, but I can appreciate its utility unfamiliar locations and emergency situations. And the notion of a company tracking your location constantly is apparently as reassuring to some as it is disturbing to me. But I doubt even those optimistic souls would find it reassuring to learn that OnStar now reserves the right to record your location, speed, and so on "for any purpose, at any time" to "any third party" provided the information is anonymized. The changes to the TOS (noted by Jonathan Zdziarski) were announced this week and, to be fair to OnStar, sent to their subscribers in full. And the major changes are right there on top (PDF). But that's cold comfort to anyone concerned with their privacy.
