â–·Multimedia data such as music, films or
photos for playback in an integrated multi-
media system.
â–·Address book data for use in conjunction
with an integrated hands-free system or an
integrated navigation system.
â–·Entered navigation destinations.
â–·Data on the use of Internet services.
This data can be stored locally in the vehicle 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 on-
line services. The transmission depends on the
selected settings for the use of the services.
Incorporation of mobile devices
Depending on the vehicle equipment, mobile
devices connected to the vehicle, for instance
smartphones, can be controlled via the vehicle
control elements.
The sound and picture from the mobile devi-
ces can be played back and displayed through
the multimedia system. Certain information is
transferred to the mobile devices at the same
time. Depending on the type of incorporation,
this includes, for instance, position data and
other general vehicle information. This opti-
mizes the way in which selected apps, for in-
stance 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 de-
termined by the provider of the particular app
being used. The extent of the possible settings
depends on the respective app and the operat-
ing system of the mobile device.
Services
General information
If the vehicle has a wireless network connec-
tion, it will enable data to be exchanged be-
tween 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 ve-
hicle, 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 man-
ufacturer are concerned, the corresponding
functions are described in the appropriate
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 manufacturer’s website.
Personal data may be used to perform online
services. Data is exchanged over a secure con-
nection, for instance with the IT systems of the
vehicle manufacturer intended for this purpose.
Any collection, processing, and use of personal
data above and beyond that needed to pro-
vide the services must always be based on a
legal permission, contractual arrangement or
consent. It is also possible to activate or deac-
tivate the data connection as a whole. This ex-
cludes functions and services required by law
such as Assist systems.
Services from other providers
When using online services from other provid-
ers, these services are the responsibility of the
relevant provider and subject to their data pri-
vacy conditions and terms of use. The vehicle
manufacturer has no influence on the content
exchanged during this process. Information on
the way in which personal data is collected and
used in relation to services from third parties,
