NOTES
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-
tection conditions and terms of use. The ve-
hicle manufacturer has no influence over the
data that is exchanged.
Information as to how personal data is collec-
ted and used in relation to services from third
parties, the scope of such data and its pur-
pose, can be obtained from the relevant pro-
vider.
Personal decision
Every user decides for themselves whether
they wish to enter into a contract for a service
such as BMW ConnectedDrive. Information on
the extent of data processing and the content
involved is provided in writing before the serv-
ice is acquired and forms part of the vehicle
handover.
The user has the option to deactivate the serv-
ices at any time and consequently to stop the
data processing required for the services. It is
also possible to have the entire data connec-
tion activated or deactivated. Excluded from
this are functions and services which are re-
quired by law, for example emergency call sys-
tems.
Transparency concerning vehicle data
BMW CarData provides transparency in han-
dling vehicle data with the use of BMW Con-
nectedDrive. BMW CarData enables users to
control whether vehicle data being processed
in the context of BMW ConnectedDrive is
transferred to third parties. Users can decide
for each individual service offering whether
data access is to be granted or refused to third
parties, for example to insurance companies.

Statutory emergency call system
Principle
The eCall emergency call system required by
law enables manual or automatic emergency
calls to be made, for example in the event of
an accident.
The emergency calls are answered by the pub-
lic rescue coordination centre.
General
For information on the eCall statutory on-
board emergency call system based on the 112
emergency call, as well as its operation and its
functions, see the chapter on emergency calls.
The eCall service based on the 112 emergency
call is a public service of general interest and is
provided free of charge.
If a serious accident occurs, the legal emer-
gency call system is activated automatically
by on-board sensors as standard practice. It
is also triggered automatically if the vehicle
is equipped with an intelligent emergency call
system that fails to work in the event of a seri-
ous accident.
The legal 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
warning.
