Chinese electric vehicle maker BYD has updated its privacy policy, removing mentions of the words 'China' and 'surveillance', according to ABC News reporting linked to a Four Corners investigation. The change is drawing attention as BYD expands internationally and regulators and drivers scrutinise what data connected cars collect and where it is sent.
Why now: Concerns over data collection by Chinese-made connected vehicles have made any privacy policy change by BYD newsworthy
