Application: Tacit Consent

General Motors (GM) has inserted a
technology in many of their vehicles called OnStar. OnStar is a GPS device that
tracks data from individual vehicles, such as speed, location, and seat belt usage.
In September 2011, it was reported that GM sells this information about their
customers’ vehicles to insurance companies and law enforcement agencies. The
use of this technology and the sharing of GPS data can assist law enforcement
in the recovery of stolen vehicles. It also was reported, however, that OnStar
can continue to collect this GPS data even if the GM customer opts to turn off
the OnStar service. Some argue that this is a violation of the right to
privacy. Others argue that individuals who buy a vehicle with this built-in
technology have given tacit (or implied) consent for the use of the personal
information that it obtains.

For this assignment, think about
technologies that law enforcement might use to apprehend criminals and any
privacy issues related to those technologies. Then consider whether individuals
who choose to use technology have given tacit consent for the use of personal
information.

  • Explain whether or not individuals who choose to use technology
    (i.e., the Internet, mobile phones) have given tacit consent for the use
    of personal information. Include a description of what constitutes
    “personal information.”
