Privacy4Cars, America’s Auto Auction Partner to Delete Personal Information from Vehicles

Privacy4Cars, a mobile process designed to help erase personal information from vehicle systems, and auction group America’s Auto Auction announced today a relationship to start offering a personal information deletion service to vehicle consignors, including OEMs, captives, banks and auto lenders, rental and business fleets and dealers across America’s Auto Auction 23 locations.

“We are excited to partner with such a leader in the auto auction industry as America’s Auto Auction” said Andrea Amico, founder of Privacy4Cars and expert in vehicle privacy and cybersecurity. “We often see consignors bringing vehicles to auctions that still contain the previous drivers’ Personal Information stored in their electronic systems (garage door codes, home addresses, phone identifiers, contact lists, call logs, text messages, etc.) Now, thanks to this relationship, consignors can rely on America’s Auto Auction to dispose of the Personal Information stored in their vehicles, whether it’s to be compliant with internal record disposal guidelines, to provide peace of mind to their customers, or to meet the requirements of privacy and security of connected devices laws in a growing list of States.”
