The user has the option to deactivate the serv‐
ices at any time and, as a result, to stop the pro‐
cessing of data required for the services. It is also
possible to have the entire data connection acti‐
vated or deactivated. Excluded from this are
functions and services which are required by law,
for example emergency call systems.
Transparency concerning vehicle
data
BMW CarData provides transparency regarding
how vehicle data is handled when BMW Con‐
nectedDrive is used. BMW CarData enables
users to control whether vehicle data that is pro‐
cessed in the context of BMW ConnectedDrive
is transferred to third parties. Users can decide
for each individual service offering whether data
access is to be granted or refused for third par‐
ties, for example for insurance companies.
An archive from BMW CarData can also be re‐
quested at any time. The archive provides infor‐
mation regarding the data that has been trans‐
mitted and saved in the context of BMW
ConnectedDrive. BMW CarData can only be ac‐
cessed by third-party providers via servers of the
vehicle manufacturer. No direct access to the ve‐
hicle and its data is granted.
More information on BMW CarData is available
on the BMW ConnectedDrive customer portal.
Statutory emergency call system
Principle
The eCall emergency call system required by law
enables manual or automatic emergency calls to
be issued in the event of accidents, for example.
The emergency calls are answered by the public
rescue coordination centre.
General
For information on the eCall statutory on-board
emergency call system based on the 112 emer‐
gency call, as well as its operation and its func‐
tions, see the chapter on emergency calls.
The eCall service based on the 112 emergency
call is a public service of general interest and is
provided free of charge.
If a serious accident occurs, the eCall statutory
emergency call system is activated automatically
by on-board sensors as a standard feature. It is
also triggered automatically if the vehicle is
equipped with an intelligent emergency call sys‐
tem that fails to work in the event of a serious ac‐
cident.
The eCall statutory emergency call system can
also be triggered manually if required.
If a critical system failure occurs that would put
the eCall statutory emergency call system out of
operation, the passengers receive a warning.
For further information:
▷ Emergency call, see page 414.
▷ Malfunction, see page 415.
Information on data processing
The eCall statutory emergency call system pro‐
cesses personal data in accordance with the
following regulations:
▷ Protection of personal data: regulation
2016/679/EU of the European Parliament
and of the Council.
▷ Protection of personal data: directive
2002/58/EC of the European Parliament and
of the Council.
Personal data is only processed for the purpose
of transmitting eCall emergency calls to the
standardised European emergency call number
112.
SIM card
The eCall statutory emergency call system oper‐
ates via mobile communications through the SIM
card installed in the vehicle. The SIM card is not
permanently connected to the mobile telephone
network; rather, it remains connected only as
long as the emergency call is active.
