particular when you are using online services
according to the settings you have selected.
Smartphone integration (e.g. Android Auto or
®
Apple CarPlay )
If your vehicle is equipped appropriately, you can
connect your smartphone or another mobile end
device to the vehicle. You can then control them
using the controls integrated in the vehicle. The
smartphone's picture and sound can be output
via the multimedia system. Specific items of infor-
mation are also sent to your smartphone.
Depending on the type of integration, this
includes position data, day/night mode and other
general vehicle statuses. Please refer to the vehi-
cle Operator's Manual / infotainment system
operating instructions for further information.
This integration allows the use of selected smart-
phone apps (e.g. navigation apps, music player
apps). No additional interaction – in particular
active access to vehicle data – takes place
between the smartphone and vehicle. The type of
additional data processing is determined by the
provider of the app being used. Whether you can
configure settings for it and, if so, which ones,
depend on the app and your smartphone's oper-
ating system.
Online services
Wireless network connection
If your vehicle has a wireless network connection,
it enables data to be exchanged between your
vehicle and additional systems. The wireless net-
work connection is made possible by the vehicle's
own transmitter and receiver or by a mobile end
device that you have brought into the vehicle, for
example, a smartphone. Online functions can be
used via the wireless network connection. This
includes online services and applications/apps
provided to you by the manufacturer or by other
providers.
Manufacturer's services
Regarding the manufacturer's online services, the
individual functions are described by the manu-
facturer in a suitable place, for example, in the
Operator's Manual or on the manufacturer's web-
site, where the relevant data protection informa-
tion is also given. Personal data may be used for
the provision of online services. Data is
General notes
exchanged via a secure connection, such as the
manufacturer's designated IT systems. Any per-
sonal data which is collected, processed and
used, other than for the provision of services, is
done so exclusively on the basis of legal permis-
sion. This is the case, for example, for a legally
prescribed emergency call system, a contractual
agreement or when consent has been given.
You can have services and functions, some of
which are subject to a fee, activated or deactiva-
ted. This excludes legally prescribed functions and
services, such as an emergency call system.
Third-party services
If you use online services from other providers
(third parties), these services are the responsibil-
ity of the provider in question and subject to that
provider's data protection conditions and terms of
use. As a general rule, the manufacturer has no
influence on the content exchanged.
For this reason, when services are provided by
third parties, please ask the service provider in
question for information about the type, extent
and purpose of the collection and use of personal
data.
