This is a perennial favorite of "news" networks like OANN. The California DMV is not in the business of selling driver information to private companies. This story pops up on the Internet every other year or so, and it's almost always from a suspicious "news" outlet. It is like pulling teeth to get information out of the California DMV. To my knowledge, they abide by the Federal Driver's Privacy Act.
