Anyone have an idea what a GM dealer charges to make the OnStar connection go ****!? That way I won't have to give any more thought about OnStar and its federal government spy partners infringing on my privacy rights.

OnStar is quickly becoming a name associated with what gets flushed down a toilet.

"Hi! I'm from OnStar, and I'm here to help you."

Does that sound like Uncle Sam?

If said goldfish was equipped with on star you would be able to locate it, turn its ignition off, and retrieve it.

I wonder if OnStar has a contract with the government to supply direct feeds on all vehicle movements whenever a vehicle is purchased by anyone from a foreign country? Yeah, I bet OnStar does.

Not sure if this article was posted in this thread yet. Wired Magazine talks all about the new policy. Pretty crazy.

This was posted over on the corvette forum. Adam Denison was the Onstar guy quoted in the above article.

Hi everyone,

I only wish I could drive a Corvette daily like all of you! My last job here at GM was to work with the media who write about Corvette. I actually had the privilege of launching the Grand Sport when it came out. Love that car.

Anyhow, I work here at OnStar now, so I can probably shed some light on this discussion about our Terms and Conditions.

As has been mentioned, we are amending our Terms and Conditions. Basically, we have added to the Terms and Conditions the provision that if you or we cancel the OnStar Services, the two-way connection with the your vehicle may continue to collect data unless you take certain steps to deactivate the data connection or fully disable the equipment. We are doing this to simplify the process for current and future owners of the vehicle to re-enroll in our services.

We will not continuously monitor or track the location of your vehicle nor will we be collecting any data about you or your vehicle. OnStar will provide you with prior notice if we plan to collect data from your vehicle, and we will obtain your express consent. OnStar values our subscribers’ privacy. We understand your need to protect your information.

The data we do have the capability to collect is not really much different than what we currently send out in the monthly diagnostic e-mails (tire pressure, warning lights, etc.). Hope this helps clear up any confusion. If you still have questions though, we invite you to check out our Privacy Center on OnStar.com, e-mail us at [email protected] or call us at 1.877.299.1372.
