With cars becoming more connected, personal data privacy is at risk every time you drive.
News 12’s Roxanne Evans reports that cars are essentially "software on wheels," gathering significant personal information like location history, contacts, and messages and they retain that data even after you disconnect your phone.

Experts recommend that you delete personal data from the car's settings before selling, renting, or returning a leased vehicle.
