extent required and on a case-by-case basis,
for example to investigate a criminal offence.
Current law also gives state bodies authorisa-
tion to read out data from the vehicle them-
selves for individual cases. Information can be
read out from the airbag control unit, etc. to
shed light on the circumstances of an accident,
for example.
Within the framework of legal obligations in the
EU, certain vehicle consumption data, such as
fuel or energy consumption and distance trav-
elled, also called OBFCM data, is sent to the
EU Commission by the vehicle manufacturer.
The registered keeper may refuse to provide
this data for this purpose.
Mobile devices
Depending on the equipment, mobile devices
such as smartphones can be connected to the
vehicle to control smartphone functions from
the vehicle, for example Apple CarPlay. Sound
and images from the mobile device may be
played back or displayed through the multime-
dia system in the vehicle, for example.
Selected information is transferred to the mo-
bile device at the same time. Depending on
the type of integration, this includes position
data and other general vehicle information, for
example. This enables optimum use of selec-
ted apps, for example navigation and music
playback. How the data is processed further
is determined by the provider of the particular
app being used.
Services

Notes
Services from the vehicle manufacturer
The various functions of online services provi-
ded by the vehicle manufacturer are described
at appropriate points, for example in the Own-
er's Handbook or on the manufacturer's web
page. The relevant legal information pertaining
to data protection is also given.
Personal data may be used to provide online
services. Data is exchanged over a secure con-
nection, for example with the vehicle manufac-
turer's data systems set up for this purpose.
Any collection, processing and use of personal
data above and beyond that needed to pro-
vide the services always requires legal permis-
sion, a contractual agreement or consent of
the user.
BMW ConnectedDrive
BMW ConnectedDrive networks the vehicle
with a number of digital services. When these
services are used, only the data stored in the
vehicle and required to provide the service is
transferred online, for example information on
identifying and locating the vehicle. Usage is
based on a contractual 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
network connection is established via an in-ve-
hicle transmitter and receiver unit or via per-
sonal mobile devices brought into the vehicle,
for example smartphones. Data transfer can
be deactivated on request.
The wireless network connection enables on-
line functions to be used. These include on-
line services and apps supplied by the vehicle
manufacturer or by other providers.
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 pro-
