BYD SEAL 2023 - Vehicle Data Processing

●
The EDR da
ta needs to be accessed
and read by special equipment.
BYD discloses your personal data to
third parties only if this is legally
permissible or you have consented
to it. In addition to the vehicle
manufacturer, third-party agencies
with professional equipment (such as
government agencies) can also read
the EDR data if they have access
to the vehicle EDR and equipment
(for example, they can read the data
of SRS control unit to clarify the
accident).
Vehicle Data Processing
●
Data is collected when the vehicle
is used, such as data collected or
transmitted by vehicle sensors or
control units, which is necessary for
the safe functioning of your vehicle.
●
In some cases, the data is used
to support driving (driver assistance
systems) or to enable a speci󽗉c
comfort or infotainment function.
●
Personal data that is collected and
processed mainly include in-vehicle
data, remote-services-related data,
and other data, as further speci󽗉ed
below.
In-vehicle data
Operation data
●
When the vehicle is used, various
vehicle status data (e.g., speed,
battery level, and braking system) or
environment (e.g., distance sensors
and temperature) data is collected and
processed.
●
This data is not usually stored,
but there are control units, sensors
or other components installed in
the vehicle that record such data,
for example, to record maintenance
requirements, error messages, or other
information.
●
The in-
vehicle data will only be
stored in the equipment in the
vehicle but can be read out via
the legally required OBD ("On Board
Diagnostics") interface, for example,
by BYD authorized dealer or service
provider or other third parties.
●
In case this access takes place
during vehicle maintenance, the
information can also be transmitted to
BYD engineers for quality assurance,
product defect reports, or customer
claim veri󽗉cation.
Remote-services-related data
Remote monitoring services
●
The vehicle has remote monitoring
services.
●
These include remote monitoring
services such as remote diagnosis
and over-the-air (OTA) updates
and upgrades for security and
safety purposes (subject to owner's
approval).
●
These monitoring services serve the
following purposes: service provision
(remote support/diagnostics), product
development, and security/public
safety.
●
Depending on the country and setup,
various vehicle information can be
transmitted to BYD's data center in
corresponding market for the above
purposes, including vehicle location
information, vehicle status, such as
energy consumption, vehicle speed,
gear position, power mode, ESC status,
steering system status, battery status,
powertrain status, and overall vehicle
performance status.
Other
Infotainment system
●
Depending on vehicle con󽗉guration,
data can be added to the infotainment
system by the users themselves, such
