I don't want to edit the post but consider as if it was done, thanks for the addition
How and where are they actually capturing that data exactly?
At the very least.. cant the US implement one of the basic rules from GDPR?
In simple terms, what data can companies keep?
Data need to have: OK
Data nice to have: Not OK
The US will absolutely not implement anything remotely like GDPR, because that would hurt the profits of a LOT of companies who happen to have a LOT of lobbyists on K street.
I'd much rather they implement the right to deletion. I know they will get their hands on a ton of data, regardless of how we write the clause. But at least let me delete that data when I want it gone.
GDPR includes right to delete data too.
I know, this was inresponse to the other post about which parts of the GDPR to implement. If I had to pick any one feature to carry over from the GDPR into whatever legislation we get on this side of the ocean, I'd pick the right to deletion.
And how often will you have to keep asking for your data to be deleted?
No matter how often you ask or what the answer is, you likely won’t be able to tell if it has actually been deleted anyway.
Companies are held to certain expedience standards when it comes to removal. If you request it and the company doesn't delete within the described maximum time, they will get fined under GDPR.
How do they even capture this stuff? Are you expected to write some essays before you can buy the car?
Meh, it's a CYA policy. They're not actively collecting that data, but if you mention something in those categories in an email, chat, phone call, etc to a Nissan employee, that data might be stored.
How would your car even know your sexual activity?
How does it know the information is medical or genetic, if it captures text messages?
I have no facts, but I assume via cameras which might record whatever you're doing in the car.
I was real curious about that too. Seems like its just a disclaimer that ya might get hacked and have you car sex leaked on pornhub.
by you parking four hours infront of a known brothel or by you shagging someone on the backseat of your char, clearly. /some sarcasm in there

I don't see how the things you highlighted are worse than any of the rest of it.
It's all bad.
