Motor Vehicle Data Privacy
Enacted as a new Part 5 of UCPA by the 2026 General Session (Chapter 193), requires a motor vehicle manufacturer selling or leasing vehicles in Utah to provide, for model year 2030 and later vehicles, in-vehicle privacy controls letting a consumer view the categories of personal data the vehicle's data collection system collects and shares, opt out of sale or targeted-advertising processing, and delete readily accessible data, defined conjunctively as data the consumer directly input through the in-vehicle interface and that is stored locally on the vehicle.
Exempts data processed solely for vehicle safety, operation, or legal compliance, and data collected only for internal product improvement. Not yet in force.
