For those who prefer not to share their email with NYT, the story is also available on yahoo!news.

I never used OnStar or opted-into Smart Driver and my LexisNexis is clean, so I can't blame this for insurance cost increases. Obviously, YMMV.

Should have never gotten to this point in the first place. Clear, concise explanation of what was involved in the safe driver option would have been the right thing to do.

Exactly!!!! Nothing was ever explained to me when I bought a GM product. And I'm sure my story is the same for most of us.

Same for me. I have been an OnStar subscriber since 2003. For close to 15 years I had three cars subscribed at the same time. When the cell phone network changed the 2003 Tahoe couldn't be upgraded so the number of cars using OnStar dropped to two. When I checked to see what data GM provided to anybody the answer was NADA. I have reports from two different companies and neither of them had any OnStar or any other data about me or my family.

It's time to put away the aluminum foil hats. If GM did send OnStar subscriber info to those companies they must have been selective in which subscriber account data was taken from. It's obvious they didn't reveal data taken from all accounts and that makes the claims against GM suspicious.
