– Entered navigation destinations.
– Data on the use of Internet services.
This data can be stored locally in the vehi-
cle or is found on a device that has been
connected to the vehicle, e.g., a smartphone,
USB stick or MP3 player. If this data is
stored in the vehicle, it can be deleted at
any time.
This data is only transmitted to third parties
upon personal request as part of the use of
online services. The transmission depends
on the selected settings for the use of the
services.
Incorporation of mobile devices
Depending on the vehicle equipment, mo-
bile devices connected to the vehicle, for in-
stance smartphones, can be controlled via
the vehicle operating elements.
The sound and picture from the mobile
devices can be played back and displayed
through the multimedia system. Certain in-
formation is transferred to the mobile devi-
ces at the same time. Depending on the type
of incorporation, this includes, for instance,
position data and other general vehicle in-
formation. This optimizes the way in which
selected apps, for instance navigation or
music playback, work.
There is no further interaction between the
mobile device and the vehicle such as active
access to vehicle data.
How the data will be processed further is
determined by the provider of the particular
app being used. The extent of the possible
settings depends on the respective app and
the operating system of the mobile device.
Services
General information
If the vehicle has a wireless network con-
nection, it will enable data to be exchanged
between the vehicle and other systems. The
wireless network connection is realized via
an in-vehicle transmitter and receiver unit
or via personal mobile devices brought into
the vehicle, for instance smartphones. This
wireless network connection enables 'online
functions' to be used. These include online
services and apps supplied by the vehicle
manufacturer or by other providers.
Services from the vehicle
manufacturer
Where online services from the vehicle
manufacturer are concerned, the corre-
sponding functions are described in the ap-
propriate place, for instance the Owner's
Manual or manufacturer's web page. The
relevant legal information pertaining to data
protection may also be found on the man-
ufacturer’s website. Personal data may be
used to perform online services. Data is
exchanged over a secure connection, for in-
stance with the IT systems of the vehicle
manufacturer intended for this purpose.
Any collection, processing, and use of per-
sonal data above and beyond that needed to
provide the services must always be based
on a legal permission, contractual arrange-
ment or consent. It is also possible to acti-
vate or deactivate the data connection as a
whole. This excludes functions and services
required by law such as Assist systems.
Services from other providers
When using online services from other pro-
viders, these services are the responsibility
of the relevant provider and subject to their
data privacy conditions and terms of use.
The vehicle manufacturer has no influence
on the content exchanged during this proc-
ess. Information on the way in which per-
sonal data is collected and used in relation
to services from third parties, the scope of
such data, and its purpose, can be obtained
from the relevant service provider.
