Utah's Consumer Privacy Act currently exempts many types of businesses and data from its consumer data protection rules, and it has not specifically addressed vehicles that collect driver information. This bill would extend the law to cover motor vehicle manufacturers that sell or lease vehicles in Utah and collect personal data through in-vehicle technology systems, and starting with 2030 model year vehicles, it would require those manufacturers to build privacy controls directly into the vehicle's dashboard display. These controls must let drivers see what categories of personal data are being collected and which companies receive it, opt out of having their data sold or used for targeted advertising, and delete personal data they've entered through the vehicle's screen, with settings remaining in effect until the driver changes them; manufacturers cannot force drivers to use a separate app or website instead. The bill exempts data collected solely for safety systems, basic vehicle operation, or legal compliance from these consent requirements, allows manufacturers to collect minimal data for internal product improvement without consent, and requires the Motor Vehicle Division to post information on its website about drivers' data privacy rights under this new law.
