Consumer-Impact Summary
User privacy
In the Mozilla Foundation's review of several Stellantis car brands, each received a "privacy not included" warning[1]. The consumer privacy researchers concluded the following:
[Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, and Jeep] signed on to a list of Consumer Protection Principles from the US automotive industry group ALLIANCE FOR AUTOMOTIVE INNOVATION, INC. The list includes great privacy-preserving principles such as "data minimization," "transparency," and "choice." But the number of car brands that follow these principles? Zero.
When responding to CNBC's request for comment, Stelantis claimed the review "contained multiple errors[2]."
