Android-auto: is it private?

Hey there,

I recently got into a discussion with a friend where he said android-auto is quite private. I don’t dare believe anything by google is good for privacy, but actually: I have no idea…!

During some searches on the webs I could find anything that seemed definitive. So, does anyone here know about android-auto? Does it share data? (Probably) if so, what data? Does anyone know ways to mitigate the data collection? Or does anyone know alternatives?

Please share your knowledge about android-auto in regards to privacy.

Read the privacy policy and then decide if you want to trust it or no.

Knowing Google’s reputation, I wouldn’t trust it.
