A Seattle-based appellate judge ruled that the practice does not meet the threshold for an illegal privacy violation under state law, handing a big win to automakers Honda, Toyota, Volkswagen and General Motors.
It’s a state law, so if you live in Washington state then you have to show actual damages to win a lawsuit. It should be easy to do this if (for example) a privacy breach led to identity theft. And this rule applies to both individuals and businesses.
If you live in another state, YMMV. Maybe you have more right to privacy, maybe less.
