Two weeks ago, the Lock and Code podcast shared three stories about home products that requested, collected, or exposed sensitive data online.There were the air fryers that asked users to record audio through their smartphones. There was the smart ring maker that, even with privacy controls put into place, published data about users' stress levels and heart rates. And there was the smart, AI-assisted vacuum that, through the failings of a group of contractors, allowed an image of a woman on a toilet to be shared on Facebook.These cautionary tales involved “smart devices,” products like speakers, fridges, washers and dryers, and thermostats that can connect to the internet.But there's another smart device that many folks might forget about that can collect deeply personal information—their cars.Today, the Lock and Code podcast with host David Ruiz revisits a prior episode from 2023 about what types of data modern vehicles can collect, and what the car makers behind those vehicles could do with those streams of information.In the episode, we spoke with researchers at Mozilla—working under the team name “Privacy Not Included”—who reviewed the privacy and data collection policies of many of today's automakers.To put it shortly, the researchers concluded that cars are a privacy nightmare. According to the team's research, Nissan said it can collect “sexual activity” information about consumers. Kia said it can collect information about a consumer's “sex life.” Subaru passengers allegedly consented to the collection of their data by simply being in the vehicle. Volkswagen said it collects data like a person's age and gender and whether they're using your seatbelt, and it could use that information for targeted marketing purposes. And those are just the highlights. Explained Zoë MacDonald, content creator for Privacy Not Included: “We were pretty surprised by the data points that the car companies say they can collect… including social security number, information about your religion, your marital status, genetic information, disability status… immigration status, race.”In our full conversation from last year, we spoke with Privacy Not Included's MacDonald and Jen Caltrider about the data that cars can collect, how that data can be shared, how it can be used, and whether consumers have any choice in the matter.Tune in today.You can also find us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts, plus whatever preferred podcast platform you use.For all our cybersecurity coverage, visit Malwarebytes Labs at malwarebytes.com/blog.Show notes and credits:Intro Music: “Spellbound” by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License

AI chatbots have quickly taken the world by storm with more people than ever integrating them into their daily lives. Many are familiar with the big name chatbots that can write recipes as Shakespearean poems or summarize obscure topics. But one type of chatbot, AI romantic companions, are less known despite the fact that they fill an especially personal role for their users. For these users, the chatbot developers' data privacy practices are critical, yet many lack mature privacy and security protocols, leaving users' most vulnerable data, such as health details, unprotected. ​​ Here to talk about these AI companion companies' data privacy practices are Jen Caltrider, Mozilla's *Privacy Not Included Program Director, and Michal Luria, CDT's own Research Fellow.

The world is seemingly upside down again as Ben Hadley joins the pod to chat about a digital asset auction gone wild, automated driving under scrutiny, and insurance companies getting more data than consumers may have bargained for.It's all fun and games until your favorite car gets in an accident…with technology at the wheel. Recently the IIHS has provided a rating of 14 driver assistance softwares across 9 manufacturers, all of which received marginal or poor marks.There's no evidence of real-world safety benefits from these systems, with the IIHS citing a lack of reduction in insurance claims.Despite Tesla's claims of safety, federal regulators are investigating nearly 1,000 accidents involving Autopilot.Lexus's Teammate with Advanced Drive system received an "acceptable" rating, standing out among its peers."We have been able to look at vehicles with and without these (systems) and determine there is no reduction in claims as a result of these more advanced systems," says IIHS President David Harkey.We all love the idea of a connected car, but it looks like insurance companies are taking liberties with the data available from manufacturers connected systems to determine insurance rates per driver.Kenn Dahl, a careful driver from near Seattle, was stunned when his insurance spiked by 21% due to data collected by his Chevy Bolt and shared by General Motors with LexisNexis.LexisNexis' report on Dahl detailed over 640 trips, monitoring speed, braking, and accelerations but not locations, affecting his insurance rates.GM and other automakers collect driving data for insurance purposes, often with driver consent buried in fine print or unknown to the driver entirely.Jen Caltrider, a researcher at Mozilla who reviewed the privacy policies for more than 25 car brands last year, called cars “a privacy nightmare.”How to Find Out What Your Car Is DoingSee the data your car is capable of collecting with this tool: https://vehicleprivacyreport.com/.Request your LexisNexis report: https://consumer.risk.lexisnexis.com/consumerRequest your Verisk report: https://fcra.verisk.com/#/After filing for bankruptcy in October, a California court has sanctioned the sale of Shift Technologies' digital assets, including domain names, trademarks, and social media accounts.TrueCar founder Scott Painter won the domain names, trademarks and social media accounts of Carlotz.com, Autoacquire.com, Canvas and Xchange Leasing for $35K.

According to Mozilla's *Privacy Not Included buyer's guide, Cars Are the Worst Product Category they Have Ever Reviewed for Privacy.

What are the best holiday gifts that aren't privacy nightmares? That's today's big question, and my guest is Jen Caltrider. Jen is the lead researcher for Mozilla's Privacy Not Included program where since 2017 Mozilla has published 15 editions of Privacy Not Included, their Consumer Tech Buyer's Guide.They've reviewed over 500 gadgets, apps, cars now, and more, assessing their security features what data they collect from you and your loved ones, and who they share that data with or sell it to. They have even built the first annual Consumer Creep-o-meter, distilling what's good, what's bad, and what's just plain creepy in the world of consumer tech.While I love new tech and I own quite a bit of it, I have become pretty obsessed with at least understanding what I'm getting myself into and getting my kids into. Part of that's for myself and my family, but obviously, so I can share it with you all as well. -----------Have feedback or questions?

Two years ago we interviewed Jen Caltrider, head of Mozilla foundation's Privacy Not Included group and got an earful about how bad Meta's privacy was in its products. This year we caught up to Jen and she said they are still bad, but in two years they've been surpassed by Amazon and Google.

When you think of the modern tools that most invade your privacy, what do you picture?There's the obvious answers, like social media platforms including Facebook and Instagram. There's email and "everything" platforms like Google that can track your locations, your contacts, and, of course, your search history. There's even the modern web itself, rife with third-party cookies that track your browsing activity across websites so your information can be bundled together into an ad-friendly profile. But here's a surprise answer with just as much validity: Cars. A team of researchers at Mozilla which has reviewed the privacy and data collection policies of various product categories for several years now, named "Privacy Not Included," recently turned their attention to modern-day vehicles, and what they found shocked them. Cars are, to put it shortly, a privacy nightmare. According to the team's research, Nissan says it can collect “sexual activity” information about consumers. Kia says it can collect information about a consumer's “sex life.” Subaru passengers allegedly consent to the collection of their data by simply being in the vehicle. Volkswagen says it collects data like a person's age and gender and whether they're using your seatbelt, and it can use that information for targeted marketing purposes. But those are just some of the highlights from the Privacy Not Included team. Explains Zoë MacDonald, content creator for the research team: "We were pretty surprised by the data points that the car companies say they can collect... including social security number, information about your religion, your marital status, genetic information, disability status... immigration status, race. And of course, as you said.. one of the most surprising ones for a lot of people who read our research is the sexual activity data."Today on the Lock and Code podcast with host David Ruiz, we speak with MacDonald and Jen Caltrider, Privacy Not Included team lead, about the data that cars can collect, how that data can be shared, how it can be used, and whether consumers have any choice in the matter.We also explore the booming revenue stream that car manufacturers are tapping into by not only collecting people's data, but also packaging it together for targeted advertising. With so many data pipelines being threaded together, Caltrider says the auto manufacturers can even make "inferences" about you. "What really creeps me out [is] they go on to say that they can take all the information they collect about you from the cars, the apps, the connected services, and everything they can gather about you from these third party sources," Caltrider said, "and they can combine it into these things they call 'inferences' about you about things like your intelligence, your abilities, your predispositions, your characteristics." Caltrider continued:"And that's where it gets really creepy because I just imagine a car company knowing so much about me that they've determined how smart I am."Tune in today.

Jen Caltrider, *Privacy Not Included Program Director at the Mozilla Foundation, joined Newsline with Brigitte Quinn to detail a study that found modern cars have poor data privacy practices.

Wearable devices, health apps, and online medical resources can help us stay fit and healthy. They also collect highly personal information that you might assume is confidential. In most cases, this data can be—and often is—shared and sold without your knowledge or permission. In this episode, how to tell if your health information is protected by the federal privacy law known as HIPAA, and what to do before you use medical apps, smart devices, or go online for medical advice. We talk with Pam Dixon, executive director of World Privacy Forum, and Jen Caltrider, a privacy researcher at the Mozilla Foundation.

This week, BJ's co-author, Amanda King, speaks with Jen Caltrider, the Mozilla Foundation's "Privacy Not Included" project lead. Amanda and Jen discuss which pregnancy tracker is best for women to use right now when it comes to preserving and protecting their data. They also talk about other issues facing women as it relates to online data collection in our new, creepy, post-Roe world.This Week's Privacy TipIt's a short one this week, but an important one. Ensure you've deactivated biometric and facial recognition methods for unlocking your phone. We've covered that one already. But now, there's a trend where thieves are using a variety of ways to spy on their victims in an effort to observe their passcode. So, make sure you're using a long, alphanumeric passcode — write it down in your Privacy Notebook! — And make sure to obscure your screen whenever you need to unlock your phone. Only you should be able to see what you're doing.Also: We know most of you are not storing your photos in the cloud if you're listening to this show, but if you still have backups of your photos going to the cloud, make sure to delete any photos containing financial information. And if you're going to go out for a while, it doesn't hurt to remove any apps that provide access to that information in the event your phone is stolen. You can always re-download those apps when you get home.Support Stupid Sexy Privacy: Visit Our Sponsor: DuckDuckGo *Affiliate Link: 1Password.com *Affiliate Link: Delete Me *Affiliate Link: Marshall Rosenberg's book, Non-Violent Communication Get Your Privacy Notebook: Get your Leuchtturm1917 Official Bullet Journal here.

Over the next three episodes (17, 18, and 19), we'll let our medical and privacy experts take center stage, so all of the tips in these three episodes will be super short.This week, BJ (with Rosie's assistance) interviewed Dr. Arthur Caplan, a professor of bioethics at New York University. Dr. Caplan is also the founding head of the Division of Medical Ethics at NYU Grossman School of Medicine.BJ's audio got jacked up, so Rosie re-recorded BJ's questions. Wasn't that nice of her?This discussion with Dr. Caplan is super important to listen to. That's because it sets the stage for our following interview with Brittan Heller, Senior Fellow of Democracy and Technology at The Atlantic Council, and Jen Caltrider from the Mozilla Foundation's Privacy Not Included initiative. All three of these interviews build off each other.Dr. Caplan explains how HIPPA is useless and doesn't protect you at all from the misuse of your health data by Big Tech.Brittan and BJ talk about how head-mounted displays used in AR and VR devices can be used to tell if you have Autism (as one example).And Jen talks to BJ's co-author, Amanda King, about the current state of pregnancy trackers, the device they collect, and who that information is being shared with.So, pretty important stuff. We hope you give these three episodes a listen. And don't worry.

Life, death and data. AI's capacity to support research on human health is well documented. But so are the harms of biased datasets and misdiagnoses. How can AI developers build healthier systems? We take a look at a new dataset for Black skin health, a Covid chatbot in Rwanda, AI diagnostics in rural India, and elusive privacy in mental health apps.Avery Smith is a software engineer in Maryland who lost his wife to skin cancer. This inspired him to create the Black Skin Health AI Dataset and the web app, Melalogic.Remy Muhire works on open source speech recognition software in Rwanda, including a Covid-19 chatbot, Mbaza, which 2 million people have used so far.Radhika Radhakrishnan is a feminist scholar who studies how AI diagnostic systems are deployed in rural India by tech companies and hospitals, as well as the limits of consent.Jen Caltrider is the lead investigator on a special edition of Mozilla's “Privacy Not Included” buyer's guide that investigated the privacy and security of mental health apps.IRL is an original podcast from Mozilla, the non-profit behind Firefox. In Season 6, host Bridget Todd shares stories of people who make AI more trustworthy in real life. This season doubles as Mozilla's 2022 Internet Health Report.
