SACRAMENTO.Calif.California Gov.Gavin New-som has signed into law AB 1146,which carves out an exception to a new state data privacy law set to take effect in January,so that auto makers and dealers can notify customers about warranties or recalls.The exemption would allow auto makers and dealers to share vehicle and owner information-including the vehicle identification number,make and model,odometer reading and the name and contact information of the registered owner-only in the event that the vehicle is subject to warranty or recall repairs.That exemption will be added to the California Consumer Privacy Act,which takes effect Jan.1.The law gives consumers the right to request that a business share the personal data collected about them,as well as the reasons for collecting it,the right to opt out of having their information sold and the right to request that a business delete their data.
