Data Collection and
Processing
This section provides you with some
important information on how personal
data is collected and processed when you
use a BYD vehicle. For a more detailed
overview on data processing, data
protection and data subject rights, please
read the current version of the privacy
policy for the vehicle available at the BYD
website www.bydauto.eu.
Vehicle Data Processing
When using the vehicle, information is
collected at the vehicle. This includes data
such as data collected or transmitted by
vehicle sensors or control units which
is necessary for the safe functioning of
your vehicle. In some cases, the data is
used to support driving (driver assistance
systems) or to enable a specific comfort or
infotainment function. Personal data that is
collected and processed mainly include in-
vehicle data, remote-services-related data,
and other data, as further specified below.
In-Vehicle Data
Operation data
When operating the vehicle, various data on
the status of the vehicle (e.g. speed, battery
level, braking system) or the environment
(e.g. distance sensors, rain sensor,
temperature sensors) are collected and
processed. This data is not usually stored,
but there are control units, sensors or other
components installed in the vehicle that
record such data, for example to record
maintenance requirements, error messages
or other information. The in-vehicle data
will only be stored in the equipment in the
vehicle but can be read out via the legally
required OBD ("On Board Diagnostics")
interface, for example by BYD authorised
dealer or service provider or other third

parties.
In case this access takes place during
vehicle maintenance, the information
can also be transmitted to BYD Europe
engineers for quality assurance, product
defect reports or customer claim
verification.
Remote-services-related data
Remote monitoring services
Your vehicle has remote monitoring
services. These include remote monitoring
services such as remote diagnosis and
Over-the-air (OTA) updates and upgrades
for security and safety purposes (subject to
your approval). These monitoring services
serve the following purposes: provision
of our services to you (remote support/
diagnostics), product development and
security/public safety.
Depending on your country and set-up,
various vehicle information can be
transmitted to BYD Europe for the above
purposes, including vehicle location
information, vehicle status, such as energy
consumption, vehicle speed, gear position,
power mode, ESP status, steering system
status, battery status, powertrain status and
overall vehicle performance status.
Other
Infotainment system
Depending on the configuration of
your vehicle, you can add data to the
Infotainment system of the vehicle yourself.
Depending on the configuration, this
includes, for example, media data for
playing films on the Infotainment system,
address data when using the navigation
system or data for using online services.
Depending on the configuration of your
vehicle, you may also be able to make
certain individual settings in and on the
vehicle. If this data is stored in the vehicle,
you can delete it at any time. If this data is
transferred to third parties (because you
