Event data recorders
Depending on the equipment level in question,
these include
–
multimedia data such as music, videos or
photos for playback in an integrated multimedia
system
–
address book data for use with an integrated
hands-free system or an integrated navigation
system
–
input destinations
–
data on the use of online services
This data for comfort and infotainment functions
can be stored locally in the vehicle or be kept on
a device that you have connected to the vehicle
(e.g. a smartphone, USB stick or MP3 player).
Data that you have input yourself can be deleted
at any time.
This data can only be transmitted out of the
vehicle at your request, particularly when using
online services in accordance with the settings
selected by you.
Smartphone integration,
e.g. Android Auto or Apple
CarPlay
If your vehicle is equipped accordingly, you can
connect your smartphone or another mobile
device to the vehicle so that you can control it
via the controls integrated in the vehicle. The
smartphone image and sound can be output
via the multimedia system in this case. At the
same time, specific information is transmitted
to your smartphone. Depending on the type of integration, this includes data such as position
data, day
/ night mode and other general vehicle
information. For more information, please
see the operating instructions for the vehicle /
infotainment system.
Integration allows selected smartphone apps to
be used, such as navigation or music playback.
No further integration is possible between
smartphone and vehicle, in particular active
access to vehicle data. The nature of further
data processing is determined by the provider of
the app used. Whether you can define settings,
and if so which ones, is dependent on the app
in question and your smartphone's operating
system.
Online services
If your vehicle has a radio network connection,
this allows data to be exchanged between your
vehicle and other systems. The radio network
connection is made possible by means of a
transmitter device in your vehicle or a mobile
device provided by you (e.g. a smartphone).
Online functions can be used via this radio
network connection. These include online
services and applications
/ apps provided to you
by the manufacturer or other providers.
Proprietary services
In the case of the manufacturer's online services,
the relevant functions are described by the
manufacturer in an appropriate location (e.g.
Owner's Manual, the manufacturer's website) and the associated data protection information is
provided. Personal data may be used to provide
online services. Data exchange for this purpose
takes place via a protected connection, e.g.
using the manufacturer's IT systems provided
for the purpose. Collection, processing and use
of personal data for the purposes of preparation
of services take place solely on the basis of
legal permission, e.g. in the case of a legally
prescribed emergency communication system or
a contractual agreement, or by virtue of consent.
You can activate or deactivate the services and
functions (which are subject to charges to some
extent) and, in some cases, the vehicle's entire
radio network connection. This does not include
statutory functions and services such as an
emergency communication system.
Third party services
If you make use of online services from other
providers (third parties), these services are
subject to the liability and data protection and
usage conditions of the provider in question. The
manufacturer frequently has no influence over
the content exchanged in this regard.
Therefore, please note the nature, scope and
purpose of the collection and use of personal
data within the scope of third party services
provided by the service provider in question.
