phone can be output via the multimedia system.
Certain information is simultaneously transferred
to your smartphone. Depending on the type and
integration, this includes position data, day/night
mode and other general vehicle statuses. For
more information please consult the Operator's
Manual of the vehicle/infotainment system.
This integration allows the use of selected smart-
phone apps, such as 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, 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
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.
Data protection rights
Depending on your country or the equipment and
range of functions of your vehicle as well as the
services you use and the services on offer, you
are entitled to different data protection rights.
Further information on data protection and your
data protection rights can either be found on the
manufacturer's website or you will receive this
information as part of the various services and
