Online services
Wireless network connection
If your vehicle has a wireless network connection,
data can be exchanged between your vehicle and
other systems. The wireless network connection
is enabled via the vehicle's transmission and
reception unit or via connected mobile end devi‐
ces (e.g. smartphones). Online functions can be
used via this wireless network connection. These
include online services and applications/apps,
which are provided by the manufacturer or by
other providers.
Manufacturer's own services
In the case of the manufacturer's online services,
the manufacturer describes the functions in a
suitable place (e.g. operating instructions, manu‐
facturer's website) and provides the associated
information subject to data protection legislation.
Personal identification data may be used to pro‐
vide online services. The data exchange for this
takes place via a secure connection, e.g. with the
manufacturer's IT systems intended for the pur‐
pose. The collecting, processing, and use of per‐
sonal identification data beyond the provision of
services occurs exclusively on the basis of a legal
permit or after due consent.
Generally, you can activate or deactivate the
services and functions (partly subject to a fee). In
some cases, this also applies to the whole data
connection of the vehicle. Excluded from this are
special legally prescribed functions and services.
Services of third parties
If it is possible to use online services from other
providers, these services are subject to the data
protection and terms of use of the responsible
provider. The manufacturer has no influence on
the contents exchanged whilst using these serv‐
ices.
Please ask the respective service provider for
details on the type, extent and purpose of the
collection and use of personal data in the context
of third party services.
