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 if expressly desired.
This depends on the personal settings selected
for using online services.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, the fol‐
lowing comfort and individual settings can be
stored in the vehicle and modified at any time,
for instance:
▷ Settings for the seat and steering wheel po‐
sitions.
▷ Suspension and climate control settings.
▷ Individual settings, for instance lighting in
the car's interior.
Control via 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 device can be played back and dis‐
played through the multimedia system. Certain
information is transferred to the mobile device
at the same time. Depending on the type of
connection, this includes, for instance position
data and other general vehicle information.
This optimizes the way in which selected apps,
for instance navigation or music playback,
work.
There is no further interaction between the mo‐
bile device and the vehicle, for instance 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 connec‐
tion, this enables data to be exchanged be‐
tween the vehicle and other systems. The wire‐
less network connection is realized via an in-
vehicle transmitter and receiver unit or via
personal mobile devices brought into the vehi‐
cle, for instance smartphones. This wireless net‐
work 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 manu‐
facturer are concerned, the corresponding
functions are described in the appropriate
place, for instance the Owner's Manual or man‐
ufacturer's website. The relevant legal informa‐
tion pertaining to data protection is provided
there too. Personal data may be used to per‐
form online services. Data is exchanged over a
secure connection, for instance with the IT sys‐
tems of the vehicle manufacturer intended for
this purpose. Any collection, processing, and
use of personal data above and beyond that
needed to provide the services must always be
based on a legal permission, contractual ar‐
rangement or consent.
In addition, the vehicle manufacturer evaluates
anonymized information on transport infra‐
structure and how the infotainment system is
used. This information cannot be traced back to
individual vehicles or people. Evaluating the
data enables the manufacturer to further im‐
prove its products or services, for instance by
incorporating the most up-to-date traffic bulle‐
tins. The data transfer feature can be deacti‐
vated in the vehicle. Certain services and func‐
tions, some of which are subject to a charge,
can be deactivated by the driver. It is also pos‐
sible to activate or deactivate the data connec‐
tion as a whole. That is, with the exception of
