There was some discussion a while back in the news about them tracking and storing the information. They claimed that it wasn't available to anyone but them, but that's just a court order away. I'd be surprised if they weren't tracking you for marketing purposes. FWIW, under the Patriot Act, they could go to On-$tar central, get your tracking information and/or start tracking you full time with no evidence of wrongdoing whatsoever on your part. On-$tar would be prevented by law from disclosing the fact that you were being tracked and/or your information reported to you. Not that I'm that paranoid, just making the point. I honestly can't see one single reason to justify On-Star.
