In 2014, founder Andrea Amico conducted the first study on personal data left in rental and used vehicles. He discovered drivers routinely leave detailed digital footprints—phone contacts, addresses, navigation history—in vehicles they no longer control, creating privacy risks and compliance violations.

Privacy4Cars was born to solve this problem.

We created a robust process to delete personal information from vehicle infotainment systems, navigation, and garage door openers. After building an extensive database of deletion instructions for hundreds of millions of vehicles, we launched our free Privacy4Cars App in 2018 (available on App Store and Google Play).

We’ve continued to rapidly innovate.Our all-in-one platform for vehicle data security, fair disclosures with Vehicle Privacy Report™ launching in 2023, and our new DisconnectedCar™ service in 2026 which removes previous owners’ remote app access and control of the car.

Today, Privacy4Cars is the leading B2B data privacy platform for the automotive industry. Top vehicle ecosystem companies rely on our turnkey solution for process rigor, records management, and certified warranties. Our research identifies critical privacy and security issues affecting the industry.

Privacy4Cars now serves international clients managing over 20 million vehicle sales annually, improving customer experience and data governance globally.
