  • A US court has rejected an appeal in a privacy suit against several automakers.
  • The complaint alleged that car infotainment systems illegally store text messages and call logs from a connected smartphone, with no way for users to delete them.
  • The court has said this practice by car makers is legal because the privacy violation is potential but not necessarily actual.
