That goes without saying. And I’m at the point where if people don’t care enough to check that kind of stuff, then I don’t care enough to worry about them.
My 2025 moto is “you have no excuse to be ignorant anymore.”
If you don’t agree then you can’t use the product. Companies do it all the time. You’ve said yes everytime. It should be illegal to hold anything hostage like that.
Don’t agree with a carmaker using and selling your data? Oh look now the cars computer won’t work for you.
Exactly! That and burying their underhandedness in a 5000-word legal document presented to me on a 8” screen when I first start up my car. It’s an unrealistic expectation the people will read and understand every obnoxiously long EULA they’re presented with. They’re specifically written NOT to be read or understood by the average person, FFS.

A car dealer is not going to pass up a sale because the customer won’t agree to the manufacturer collecting and selling the customers data.
Sure with software the company can just prevent you from using their product. But a physical item such as a vehicle? Please.
Besides GM was order to allow people to opt-out. They can’t force data collection on you like Google can.
Dealers don’t make the cars. Dealers will just lie about it.
Your car will not work if the computer refuses to function.
