Disclosure of Personal Data to

●
BYD discloses your personal data to
third parties only if this is legally
permissible or you have consented to
it.
●
However, subject to applicable
laws, government agencies may be
authorized to read out data from
vehicles (e.g. data can be read from
the airbag control unit to clarify an
accident).
●
If required by law, BYD may also be
obliged to disclose data upon request
to governmental authorities in your
country, e.g. in the investigation of a
criminal o󽗈ence.
Your Data Protection Rights
●
BYD has staunch respect for its
customer's privacy, and strictly
complies with all data protection
laws, in p
articular the General Data
Protection Regulation (GDPR) and
applicable local laws.
●
According to these laws, owners have
speci󽗉c rights when their personal
data is processed:
●
Data subjects have the right
of information and access, to
recti󽗉cation, erasure of personal data
("right to be forgotten") and the
right to object to the processing of
personal data or to restrict it (or to
withdraw consent given earlier, as
well as the right to data portability).
●
These rights may be limited in some
cases. For example, if we can show
that we have a legal obligation to
process your data, or if providing the
information to you would disclose
personal data about another person,
or if we are legally prevented from
disclosing that information.
●
In some cases, this may mean that
we can retain the data even if you
withdraw your consent.
●

processing, data protection, and any
rights you may have, please visit the
latest version of the Privacy Policy
