# DashCanary > Your car talks. We tell you who is listening. See how your car tracks you, what personal data it collects, who it is shared with, and how to reduce connected-vehicle surveillance—plus community tips, warnings, and incident reports. DashCanary is a US-first education platform for personal vehicle owners. It explains connected-car tracking (telematics/DCM/TCU), what data can leave a vehicle, who may receive it, opt-out tradeoffs, and concrete next steps. Community reports are moderated before publishing. ## Primary surfaces - [Home](https://dash-canary.vercel.app/): Vehicle lookup + Callie privacy guide - [Vehicle lookup](https://dash-canary.vercel.app/vehicles) - [Community board](https://dash-canary.vercel.app/community) - [Report to community](https://dash-canary.vercel.app/community/report) - [Learn hub](https://dash-canary.vercel.app/learn) - [Privacy request letter tool](https://dash-canary.vercel.app/tools/privacy-request) - [Full machine-readable summary](https://dash-canary.vercel.app/llms-full.txt) ## Vehicle privacy profiles - [2024 Toyota RAV4](https://dash-canary.vercel.app/vehicles/toyota/rav4/2024): The 2024 RAV4 can transmit location, driving, and vehicle-health data through Toyota Connected Services.

When a model is not covered, say so and give general connected-car guidance. Do not invent OEM portal URLs or claim hardware deactivation steps beyond the published playbooks.
