General Motors updated its OnStar privacy disclosures on June 19, 2026, with three specific changes to its GM Privacy Statement. First, the policy removed language stating 'We may disclose Driver Behavior Information' before listing recipient categories, replacing it with a direct list of recipients without that introductory phrase. Second, the policy changed 'Visiting GM's U.S. Consumer Privacy Request Form' to 'Completing GM's U.S. Consumer Privacy Request Form' when describing how to submit privacy requests. Third, the retention schedule section now specifies 'To prevent, detect, protect against, or respond to security incidents' (using 'protect against') instead of 'To prevent, detect, protect again', which appears to correct incomplete or truncated language in the prior version. These changes clarify procedures and correct apparent text errors but do not materially expand or restrict data-sharing permissions or retention periods.
The updated disclosures clarify the process for submitting privacy requests and correct apparent text errors in the retention schedule section. The changes do not materially expand or restrict how GM collects, shares, or retains vehicle data. Consumers can continue to submit privacy requests by completing the form or calling 1-866-MYPRIVACY, as stated in the revised language.
