Dacia is a Romanian car company founded in 1966. In 1999, the company was sold to France-based Renault Group. Dacia sells most of its cars in Europe and Northern Africa. Models include the Sandero, Jogger, and Duster. Their Dacia Media Control app let's owners of Dacia connect their phone to their car and do things like navigate with Waze, find where you parked your car, and receive an alert if you forget your phone in your car. How is Dacia at privacy? Well, being a European-based car company covered by Europe's stronger privacy laws sure seems to help. As far as we can tell, they aren't so bad. Our biggest worry is that we couldn't confirm if they encrypt all the personal data stored on their cars.

Co się może stać, jeśli coś pójdzie nie tak?

What? A car company that doesn't seem completely terrible at privacy? Could it be? Could it be because it's a French-based car company that is governed by stricter European GDPR privacy laws and doesn't sell cars in North America where privacy laws are much more lax? We're guessing that is probably it.

Our biggest concern with Renault Group-owned Dacia is that we couldn't confirm if all the data the car collects is encrypted as it sits on the car. It could well be, we just couldn't confirm that and multiple emails to the privacy contact at Renault Group went unanswered, so we just don't know.

They do, like the rest of the car brands, collect a lot of personal information about you like your name, address, and your vehicle’s VIN number. They also collect data about your driving and what you do in your car: When you accelerate, pump the brakes, or use multimedia. They also record all your interactions and conversations with them. Again, for car companies, this level of data collection seems pretty standard.

They're a bit more vague than some of the other car makers about the actual data points they collect. In their UK Privacy Notice, they list the categories of personal data they can collect with a few examples usually followed by “etc.” We don't love that tiny word because it lets us know that we're only getting a sample and not a complete list. And, as privacy researchers, we're nosy as heck -- it’s our job! So for example, Renault Group collects “Data related to your personal and/or professional situation (family situation, socio-professional category, etc.)” Pretty vague! But also, c’est la vie (with most privacy policies)!

They do say that they will ask for your consent when your geolocation is collected. Great! But that’s something Renault Group must do to comply with Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It’s the law. And that’s the thing about reviewing a European car brand. Like we mentioned, because the GDPR offers pretty strong privacy protections, any car company focused on Europe is going to have better privacy practices by default than brands serving countries, like the United States, with no federal data protection. On that note, you do have the right to get access to and delete your data. Woohoo! Thanks again, GDPR!

We feel that all that data Renault Group can collect about you when you communicate with them, sign up for their services, and purchase or drive their vehicles is more than enough. So we don't like that they can collect even more information about you “through other companies in our group or partners” even if they say they'll get your consent when they have to. That doesn't feel super in line with your commitment to data minimization, Renault Group. More on those commitments, Renault Group sometimes shares your personal information in ways that don't seem totally necessary, or in their words, for "explicit, legitimate and determined purposes." For example, they say then can share it with “[a]ny associated or connected motor manufacturer from whom we purchase or hire goods (and their group companies)” and "partners." It’s also not clear to us whether they will only share your personal data with law enforcement when they are legally obligated to, according to the language they use in their UK Privacy Notice.

We learned that some of the information Renault Group asks for is mandatory and some isn’t. The second kind is collected in the interest of “getting to know you better especially in order to send you personalized marketing information.” So if you're not interested in letting Renault Group get to know you like that, only fill in form fields marked “mandatory.”

In another tip of the hat to the protections of GDPR, Renault Group won't sell your personal data, like so many other car makers do. But that doesn't mean they're not in the data business. We can tell they're investing in big data and digital transformation through their partnerships with Google and IT consultancy, Atos. It does mean that they probably trade in aggregated and anonymised data which is not covered by the GDPR. We also like to point out that it can be relatively easy to de-anonymize those kinds of data sets.

Renault Group says that “Protecting your personal data is central to Renault’s values.” Aww, we love to hear it! Except we're not seeing too much to back that up besides obeying the law. It’s not looking amazing for one of the “good ones,” we know. Yet we still have one last beef (or should we say beouf?) with Renault Group. They're part of a strategic alliance with privacy-monster Nissan, one of the worst car companies we reviewed a privacy. What does that mean exactly for the fate of your personal data? Well, probably not much thanks to the strong legal protections in place. Still, given these companies’ cozy relationship, we’ll take it as a cautionary tale for what Renault Group might do if they could. Bravo, privacy laws! Finally, even though we're getting déja-vue writing this, it’s our duty to tell you that Renault Group, like all of the other car brands we looked at, comes with *privacy not included.
