tem that fails to work in the event of a serious ac‐
cident.
The eCall statutory emergency call system can
also be triggered manually if required.
If a critical system failure occurs that would put
the eCall statutory emergency call system out of
operation, the vehicle occupants receive a warn‐
ing.

Information on data processing

The eCall statutory emergency call system pro‐
cesses personal data in accordance with the
following regulations:
▷ Protection of personal data: regulation
2016/679/EU of the European Parliament
and of the Council.
▷ Protection of personal data: directive
2002/58/EC of the European Parliament and
of the Council.
Personal data is only processed for the purpose
of transmitting eCall emergency calls to the sin‐
gle European emergency call number 112.

SIM card

The eCall statutory emergency call system oper‐
ates via mobile radio through the SIM card instal‐
led in the vehicle. The SIM card is not perma‐
nently connected to the mobile phone network;
rather, it remains connected only as long as the
emergency call is active.

Data types and their recipients

The eCall statutory emergency call system may
only collect and process the following data:
▷ The vehicle identification number for rapidly
identifying the vehicle, for example the model.
▷ Vehicle type, for example passenger car.
▷ Type of vehicle drive, for example petrol or
diesel, for assessing the risks involved in a

rescue, for example the risk of fire caused by
fuel.
▷ The vehicle's position at the time of the acci‐
dent, its last three locations and the direction
of travel in order to locate the vehicle more
quickly on very complex route sections, for
example.
▷ A log of the automatic system activation,
along with the time stamp.
▷ Control information, which tells rescue serv‐
ices whether the emergency call was trig‐
gered automatically or manually, for example.
▷ A time stamp for determining the time of the
accident in order to optimise the deployment
plans of the rescue services.
▷ The direction of travel for establishing which
side of the carriageway is affected, for exam‐
ple.
The authorities of the state in whose territory the
eCall system emergency call is made determine
which emergency call centres receive and proc‐
ess the statutory emergency call.

Data processing configuration

The eCall statutory emergency call system en‐
sures that the data contained in the system
memory cannot be accessed outside the system
before an emergency call is triggered.
The data collected for the eCall statutory emer‐
gency call system is only saved in the vehicle
and sent to the rescue coordination centre when
an emergency call is triggered.
The eCall statutory emergency call system en‐
sures that it cannot be traced and there is no
permanent tracking during normal operation.
The eCall statutory emergency call system en‐
sures that the data in the internal system mem‐
ory is deleted automatically and continuously.
The vehicle's location data is continuously over‐
written in the system's internal memory so that
only the vehicle's last three locations - which the
system needs for normal operation - are ever
stored.
