I have good news for you! You did opt out. The only radio that has a modem is the 8.4" radio. The 5" and 7" have no way of wirelessly transmitting data. The GPS and Satellite radio receivers are just receivers.

A funny thing about GM's system is they even know your seat position. There's not much about it online but you can sign into a cloud account from the radio, such that any GM car that has that system can recall your seat/radio presets and stuff lol.
Which sort of confirms what Jeep told me regarding my inquiry with my specific VIN number used in the contact form: a WiFi connection is needed to transmit the data. Now I just gotta figure out how to find the JT on available devices. Maybe Jeep meant a Bluetooth connection instead of a Wifi

There is no "Transmitting Tech" in my Gladiator. My phone is never connected to my measly 5" display and there is no Satellite radio, and the uconnect is the basic model, no transmitter. Jeep and FCA, do not know where I am or my driving habits. I have walked around the vehicle with a Frequency counter to ensure this. I wish Jeep made a Gladiator I could power wash on the inside, just to get it clean. For Music I have a iPod nano (Bluetooth only) and the bluetooth is off, as its hardwired to the stereo, thru the port in the center console.
