38 General notes
Smartphone integration (e.g. Android Auto or
®
Apple CarPlay )
If your vehicle is accordingly equipped, you can
connect your smartphone or another mobile end
device to the vehicle. You can then control them
by means of the control elements integrated in
the vehicle. Images and audio from the smart-
phone can be output via the multimedia system.
Certain information is simultaneously transferred
to your smartphone. Depending on the type and
integration, thisincludes position data, day/night
mode and other general vehicle statuses. For
more information please consult the Owner's
Manual of the vehicle/infotainment system.
This integration allows the use of selected smart-
phone apps, suchas navigation or music player
apps. There is no further interaction between the
smartphone and the vehicle; in particular, vehicle
data is not directly accessible. The type of addi-
tional data processing is determined by the pro-
vider of the app being used. Which settings you
can make, if any, depends on the specific app and
the operating system of your smartphone.
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,
forexample, 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, forexample, in the
Owner'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 are
exchanged via a secure connection, suchas the
manufacturer's designated IT systems. Any per-
sonal data which are 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, forexample, 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, suchas 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.
