Exciting News for Dealership Compliance!
AFIP/ADCO is proud to announce our new partnership with Privacy4Cars to help dealerships address one of today`s fastest-growing compliance challenges: vehicle data privacy.
Modern vehicles store far more than just driving information—they can retain contacts, locations, payment information, garage codes, and even remote access credentials. As connected vehicle technology continues to evolve, protecting customer data has become a critical part of every dealership`s compliance program.
Through this partnership, AFIP/ADCO members now have preferred access to Privacy4Cars` industry-leading tools designed to help dealerships disclose, delete, and disconnect sensitive vehicle data—reducing privacy, security, and liability risks while strengthening customer trust.
