- Estimated repair cost (in dollars)

- Likelihood of structural crush damage

PRIVACY LEGISLATION STATUS (EDR DATA)

Canada: No specific legislation; EDR data is classified as diagnostic and non‑private. Insurers typically seek owner consent as a standard practice.

United States: The federal Driver Privacy Act of 2015 (enacted December 2015) governs EDR data access, establishing that retrieved information belongs to the vehicle’s owner or lessee. Seventeen states have additional statutes: Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Washington. These laws generally mandate that data download requires owner or policyholder consent, with specific, limited

exceptions.
