Privacy Conclusion

"TxDMV operates as a government motor vehicle data repository with a moderate-to-high privacy risk profile (46/100). While the department itself does not engage in advertising or tracking, it shares sensitive vehicle owner data broadly with government agencies and law enforcement without user consent options, and critically, private businesses are not restricted from purchasing and reselling this data. The lack of opt-out mechanisms and undefined data retention policies create ongoing exposure for millions of Texas vehicle owners."
