240Customer informationVehicle data recording
and privacy
Event data recorders
Electronic control units are installed in
your vehicle. Control units process
data which is received by vehicle
sensors, for example, or which they
generate themselves or exchange
amongst themselves. Some control
units are necessary for the safe
functioning of your vehicle, others
assist you while you drive (driver
assistance systems), while others
provide comfort or infotainment
functions.
The following contains general
information about data processing in
the vehicle. You will find additional
information as to which specific data
is uploaded, stored and passed on to third parties and for what purpose in
your vehicle under the key word Data Protection closely linked to the
references for the affected functional
characteristics in the relevant owner's manual or in the general terms of
sale. These are also available online.Personal reference
Each vehicle is identified by means of
a unique chassis number. In
Germany, this vehicle identification
number can be traced to the present
and former keepers of the vehicle by
means of information held by the
Federal Motor Transport Authority.
Further options, such as the vehicle's number plate, make it possible to
trace data on the keeper or driver of
the vehicle.
The data generated or processed by
control units may therefore be
personal, or be made personal under
certain conditions. Depending on
what vehicle data is available,
conclusions may be drawn on
information such as your driving
behaviour, your location or the route
you travel, or on your usage
behaviour.
Your rights in respect of data
protection
According to applicable law on data
protection, you have certain rights in
respect of companies that process your personal data.Accordingly you have free and
extensive entitlement to information
held by the manufacturer as well as
third parties (e.g. authorised
breakdown services or garages,
providers of online services for your
vehicle) if they have saved personal
data relating to you. In doing so you may demand to know what data is
stored about you for what purpose,
and where the data came from. Your
right to information also covers the
transfer of data to other locations.
Further information on your legal
rights in respect of the manufacturer
(e.g. your right to deletion or the
correction of data) can be found in the
relevant privacy notice on the
manufacturer's website (including
contact data for the manufacturer and its data protection officer).
Data that is only stored locally in the
vehicle can be read with expert
assistance at a garage, for example;
for a fee where applicable.
Customer information241Legal requirements for
information disclosure
Insofar as regulatory requirements
exist, manufacturers are strictly
bound to release data stored by the
manufacturer in individual cases to
the extent requested following a
request by state bodies (e.g. during
criminal investigations).
Government agencies are also
authorised, in the context of
applicable law, to read data in
individual cases from vehicles
themselves. Thus information that
may help with the investigation
resolution can possibly be read from
the airbag control unit in the event of
an accident.
Operating data in the vehicle Control units process data for
operation of the vehicle.This data includes, for example:
● vehicle status information (e.g. speed, movement delay, lateral
acceleration, wheel rotation rate, "seat belts fastened" display)
● ambient conditions (e.g. temperature, rain sensor,
distance sensor)
As a rule such data is transient and is
not stored for longer than an
operational cycle, and only processed
on board the vehicle itself. Often
control units include data storage
(including the vehicle key). This is
used to allow information to be
documented temporarily or
permanently on vehicle condition,
component stress, maintenance
requirements and technical events
and errors.
Depending on technical equipment
levels, the data stored is as follows:
● system component operating states (e.g. fill level, tyre
pressure, battery status)
● faults and defects in important system components (e.g. lights,brakes)● system reactions in special driving situations (e.g. triggering
of an airbag, actuation of the
stability control systems)
● information on events damaging the vehicle
● for electric vehicles the amount of
charge in the high-voltage
battery, estimated range
In special cases (e.g. if the vehicle
has detected a malfunction), it may be
necessary to save data that would
otherwise just be volatile.
When you use services (e.g. repairs,
maintenance), the operating data
saved can be read together with the
vehicle identification number and
used where necessary. Staff working
for the service network ( e.g. garages,
manufacturers) or third parties (e.g.
breakdown services) can read the
data from the vehicle. The same
applies to warranty work and quality
assurance measures.
Data is generally read via the OBD
(On-Board Diagnostics) port
prescribed by law in the vehicle. The operating data read documents the
technical condition of the vehicle or
