We have added to the amended Terms and Conditions more detailed information about the information we collect about you and about your Vehicle, including how we collect your information, what we do with it and how we share it. For example, unless the Data Connection in your Vehicle is deactivated, information about your Vehicle may continue to be collected even if you do not have Service. In addition to other purposes set out in the prior version of the Privacy Statement, we may use the information we collect about you and your Vehicle to improve the quality of our Service and offerings and may share the information we collect with law enforcement or other public safety officials, credit card processors, and/or third parties we contract with who conduct joint marketing initiatives with OnStar.

In the bold, you'll find exactly who they share information with. This is not "anybody who wants it". And they aren't selling it, either - they're sharing it to pertinent partners/authorities.
As I mentioned earlier - this doesn't mean they're going to go giving out your address or location of your car to the highest-bidding advertising company. The worst possible mention in the bold is the third-party marketing people. But guess what?? Since companies like GM and OnStar don't do their own advertising, the groups they contract with are usually bound to Non-Disclosure Agreements and only given what's absolutely necessary to market their business (such as number of calls, miles driven, etc...)
So...misrepresenting the facts, because they aren't selling - nor are they giving it to "anyone who wants it".
