Well, that was only a few days after I purchased my car early in the spring. That seemed bit too much, and I really had no interest in paying fee for the service after free trial period ends, so I promptly used my registered Toyota App to opt-out the Safety Connect service. This means that the car as I drove off the dealer's lot was collecting my personal information, location data, driving data and vehicle health data without me activating the service. Safety Connect uses your vehicle’s Location Data, or “vehicle location” (your vehicle’s latitude and longitude) to determine where your vehicle needs assistance, your Personal Information (such as your name, address, phone number, email address, etc.) to verify your account, and your Voice Recordings (when you call our Response Center) for quality assurance. Your vehicle’s Safety Connect feature provides roadside and emergency assistance, automatic collision notifications, stolen vehicle assistance and accident advisory services. If you do not deactivate Connected Services, you specifically consent to our electronic collection and use of your personal information and vehicle data and our storage of such data wherever we designate. You may deactivate Connected Services at any time by contacting us and we will no longer collect your Personal Information, Location Data, Driving Data and Vehicle Health Data. When you lease or buy a vehicle equipped with Connected Services, data collection is active.
