Chinese electric vehicle maker BYD has updated its privacy policy to remove mentions of 'China' and 'surveillance', according to reporting by Australia's ABC, linked to a Four Corners investigation. The changes are drawing scrutiny from privacy advocates, who see them as an attempt to soften the company's image over data-collection concerns as it expands globally.
Why now: A major EV maker quietly rewriting its privacy policy amid scrutiny of Chinese surveillance practices is raising data-privacy concerns.
