    So according to your reasoning, your car is capable of gathering your genetic information because it’s listed in the EULA?

    When was the last time you did a DNA swab for your car?

      Your premise is bad. Genetic information != DNA. Identifying someone’s race and using GPS data to put them near medical clinics… etc… can infer a lot… let me link you a definition…

      https://www.eeoc.gov/youth/genetic-information

      One of the most recent laws enforced by EEOC relates to genetic information. The law provides a very specific definition for “genetic information.” Genetic information includes information about your genetic tests and the genetic tests of your family members. Genetic information also includes information about any disease, disorder, or condition of your family members (your family medical history).

      It’s not JUST DNA. but a lot more can be inferred by your daily driving… And Nissan has already admitted to collecting GPS information which can identify a lot about someone on it’s own.

      So according to your reasoning

      There’s no reasoning to gather from my statements… This is Predictive Analytics… this is the third time I’ve said the term now. I’ve also linked you a news article that shows that shopping patterns can out a pregnancy. By the way that article is over a decade old.

      What makes you think that analytics from over a decade ago hasn’t gotten good enough to do things like identify genetic features? Things like your height (if the car records your seat positions, which many do at this point.) are possible to infer some parts of your genetic makeup if that data is given to the “right” people to analyze with particular datasets.

      The fact that they tailored their EULA in such a way that allows them to sell their data to these brokers for ANY of these reasons is literally what Rossman and Mozilla are pissed about. Has nothing to do with if Nissan is capable of doing it themselves, but that they’re geared up and ready legally to do so whenever they’d like.

        Also another reason to completely 100% discount this video. I’ve posted the same information, the same link I did before there… My comment was deleted. This developer is lying, was called out… rather than own up to it… deleted the dissenting opinion that cites Nissan themselves. That’s not good.

        You cannot infer genetic information. You can infer traits that could be related to genetics, sure. But genetic information requires genetic testing.

        If I see you are black, and say “hey this guy is black” I’m not divulging genetic information.

          I literally linked you a legal definition… And you want to argue it? Are you sane?

          If you’re identified as “Black” and go to a Sickle Cell Disease Treatment Center regularly. You can infer that that person has it. This is easy stuff to figure out with the right data sets…

            I’m actually quite confused on how you could garner any of that data from geolocation. But w/e.

            Still seems a mad stretch.
