Toyota owners: you can opt out of this data collection in their app or by calling them. https://support.toyota.com/s/article/Can-I-optout-of-Toyot-1...

Unfortunately as far as I can tell it only actually stops after the "remote connect" trial period ends one year after you buy a new vehicle that opts you in automatically. There are probably ways to physically disable the data collection modules for this, if you're comfortable tearing apart your car's dash. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/2020-data-transmittal.63...
