Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. is a Tokyo Stock Exchange-listed Japanese automaker (ticker 7201) whose US arm, Nissan North America, sells connected vehicles through the NissanConnect/MyNISSAN telematics ecosystem. Nissan's US privacy notice lists broad categories of Sensitive Personal Data it may collect — including biometric information, precise geolocation, and health-related data — and separately discloses that sharing customer data with dealerships for marketing purposes 'can also constitute a "sale" under some state laws.' The MyNISSAN companion app's own Apple App Store privacy label self-declares only a 'Data Not Linked to You' category, with no data self-declared as used to track users or linked to their identity. In January 2023 Nissan North America notified the Maine Attorney General of a vendor-caused breach affecting 17,998 US customers, traced to a third-party software vendor's misconfigured cloud database; no primary-source evidence of an FTC or state-AG enforcement order was located during this review. Ownership is traceable via Nissan's Tokyo Stock Exchange listing and its own investor-relations materials, complicated by the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance's historical cross-shareholding structure.

COLLECTION
Nissan's US Privacy Notice defines 'Sensitive Personal Data' as Personal Data that reveals categories including Social Security/ID numbers, precise geolocation, racial or ethnic origin, biometric information used to uniquely identify a consumer, and data concerning a consumer's health, and states it may collect and use this data in the ordinary course of business, including through connected-vehicle enrollment such as NissanConnect.
Wikidata's registry entry for Nissan records that its stock has traded on the Tokyo Stock Exchange under ticker symbol 7201 since January 1951, and separately records a historical (2016-sourced) Renault ownership stake of 43.4% tied to the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance's cross-shareholding structure, which has since been restructured but illustrates the multi-party ownership chain that must be traced beyond Nissan's own filings.
Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.'s own global investor-relations page names Ivan Espinosa as President & CEO and references the company's 127th Annual General Shareholders Meeting, confirming it operates as a shareholder-governed public company with a standard corporate-governance and investor-disclosure structure.
Nissan's privacy notice states that it shares Personal Data across most of its collected categories with dealerships and other third parties for marketing programs, and explicitly acknowledges that this dealership-marketing sharing can constitute a 'sale' of personal data under some state privacy laws.
Nissan North America reported to the Office of the Maine Attorney General on January 16, 2023 a data breach affecting 17,998 US customers (785 Maine residents), caused by a third-party software development vendor's misconfigured public cloud database that had been given customer data for development and testing purposes.
The same privacy notice describes Nissan's use of standard web tracking technologies, defining 'tracker technologies' as tools such as pixels, web beacons, and tags used to collect information similarly to cookies across Nissan's Platforms.
Nissan North America's own Apple App Store privacy-nutrition label for the MyNISSAN app self-declares only a 'Data Not Linked to You' category (Identifiers, Usage Data, Diagnostics) and does not declare any data used to track the user across apps/websites or any data linked to the user's identity.
