I never saw one of those when buying my most recent car (Toyota). But, after creating an account on their website I was able to find this section:
Consent Centre
E-privacy: Your car data
Help us improve our products by sharing car data and diagnostic info.
We don’t currently have your consent to use this data. This may be for the following reasons:
Your car doesn’t have Connected Services. Contact your dealer to check if they can be added.
No (connected) car has been added to your account. Go to My Vehicle, add a car if needed, then connect your car via the Connected Services card.
You have a connected car but have yet to consent. Go to My Vehicle, and open the chosen car. You will be requested to give your consent.
Toyota thanks you for helping us to improve our products.
FWIW, their smartphone app contains a "consent" section with various toggles for the usual reasons (e.g. "sharing data to improve products") and these are all turned off.
I love the attention to detail here, like any customer ever has navigated to this page trying to find out how to give consent to having their data collected.
