General Motors has reached a settlement with US regulators that will prevent the US car-making giant from selling its customer information without their knowledge for the next twenty years.

通用汽车公司已与美国监管机构达成和解，该和解协议将阻止这家美国汽车制造巨头在未来二十年内在监管机构不知情的情况下出售其客户信息。

The Federal Trade Commission slapped GM with a five-year total ban on reporting data, even with customer consent, after it was found to have shared driver behaviour data with insurance companies without the customer’s consent.

由于发现通用汽车在未经客户同意的情况下与保险公司共享驾驶员行为数据，美国联邦贸易委员会对通用汽车实施五年全面禁止报告数据的规定，即使是在获得客户同意的情况下。

GM’s Smart Driver program was an opt-in service that collected data on aspects such as chosen traffic routes. However, a New York Times investigation revealed that the car firm was also collecting data on the rate of acceleration, cornering speeds, and other driver behaviour that is of particular value to insurers in assessing the risk posed by policyholders.

通用汽车的智能驾驶员计划是一项选择性加入服务，可收集所选交通路线等方面的数据。然而，《纽约时报》的一项调查显示，该汽车公司还在收集有关加速度、转弯速度和其他驾驶员行为的数据，这些数据对于保险公司评估保单持有人构成的风险特别有价值。

即将离任的联邦贸易委员会主席莉娜·汗 (Lina Khan) 在周四的一份声明中表示：“通过这一行动，联邦贸易委员会正在保护美国人的隐私，并保护人们免受不受控制的监视。”

GM was found to have harvested driver data for sale through Smart Driver as often as every three seconds, which was not disclosed to GM’s customers. GM discontinued the feature last year.

通用汽车被发现每三秒就会通过 Smart Driver 收集驾驶员数据并进行销售，但这些数据并未向通用汽车的客户透露。通用汽车去年停止了该功能。

“Respecting our customers’ privacy and earning their trust is deeply important to us,” GM said in a statement on Thursday. “We’re more committed than ever to making our policies and controls clear and accessible.”

“尊重客户的隐私并赢得他们的信任对我们来说非常重要，”通用汽车在周四的一份声明中表示。 “我们比以往任何时候都更加致力于使我们的政策和控制措施变得清晰易懂。”
