This is a very legitimate concern. Many automobile manufacturers sell the information to Insurance companies who use it to adjust your rates. With all the false positive safety sense braking, etc, this ususally ends up in higher consumer rates.
I opted out when I picked up my vehicle and strongly advise others to do the same.

Theyโre using the data to self select drivers that are unlikely to wreck. They offer slightly lower rates to statistically low risk customers, those customers save a little bit of money, and on aggregate donโt wreck a lot, and Toyota makes money. Itโs a simple law of averages.
To add - the only time your data is shared from Toyota to any other party is when insurance connect is enabled, which is an explicit separate opt in.This is a very legitimate concern.

It is different per vehicle and head unit type.Can you review what each consent/functions actually mean?
I.E. ... Like drive pulse... What is it? and why would I need to decline or accept it?
Do they explain what the consents are actually for?
So.... your saying OOOh.. Hell No.... !!!It is different per vehicle and head unit type.
Drive pulse is toyota's driver scoring metric for safe driving behaviors. the data from Drive Pulse doesn't get shared anywhere unless you have insurance connect on, which shares it with insurance partners so you get safe driving discounts. The data isn't sold to any third parties except for the insurance provides listed in the insurance connect consents.
