locating the vehicle. Usage is based on a con‐
tractual agreement with the user.
In individual cases, the transfer of data is trig‐
gered as a result of predefined events, such as
an intelligent emergency call. The wireless net‐
work connection is established via an in-vehicle
transmitter and receiver unit or via personal mo‐
bile devices brought into the vehicle, for example
smartphones. Data transfer can be deactivated
on request.
The wireless network connection enables online
functions to be used. These include online serv‐
ices and apps supplied by the vehicle manufac‐
turer or by other providers.
Services from other providers
When using online services from other providers,
these services are the responsibility of the rele‐
vant provider and subject to their data protection
conditions and terms of use. The vehicle manu‐
facturer has no influence over the data that is ex‐
changed.
Information as to how personal 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 provider.
Personal decision
Every user decides for themselves whether they
wish to enter into a contract for a service such as
BMW ConnectedDrive. Information on the extent
of data processing and the content involved is
provided in writing before the service is acquired
and forms part of the vehicle handover.
The user has the option to deactivate the serv‐
ices at any time and consequently to stop the
data processing required for the services. It is
also possible to have the entire data connection
activated or deactivated. Excluded from this are
functions and services which are required by law,
for example emergency call systems.
