Safety and Driving Pleasure
21
Data processing in the vehicle
Electronic control units are installed in your vehicle.
Some of these are required for the operational safety
of your vehicle, while others provide assistance while
driving (driver assistance systems). Moreover, your
vehicle offers comfort and entertainment functions
which are also made possible through electronic
control units.
Storing technical data in the vehicle
Electronic control units have data memories that can
temporarily or permanently store technical informa-
tion about vehicle status, component stress, servic-
ing requirements, events or faults. Generally
speaking, this technical information documents the
status of a component, module, system or environ-
ment such as:
– Operating states of system components (e.g. fill
levels)
– Status messages about the vehicle and its indi-
vidual components (e.g. wheel revolutions,
speed, deceleration, lateral acceleration)
– Malfunctions and faults in important system
components (e.g. lights, brakes)
– Information about events that can damage the
vehicle
– The vehicle response in special driving situations
(e.g. triggering an airbag, activation of the
stability control system)
– Ambient conditions (e.g. temperature)
In addition to providing the actual control unit func-
tion, this data is used to detect and correct faults
and enables the manufacturer to optimize vehicle
functions. Most of this data is volatile and is only
processed in the vehicle itself. Only a small part of
the data is stored in event or fault memories. More-
over, your vehicle offers comfort and entertainment
functions which are also made possible through
electronic control units.
Read-out of technical data
When having your vehicle serviced, service network
employees (e.g. workshops, roadside assistance,
manufacturers) can read out the technical informa-
tion from the vehicle. Services include repair serv-
ices, service processes, warranty claims and quality
assurance measures for example. The data is read
out using a legally required connection for OBD
("On-board diagnosis") in the vehicle. The data is
collected, processed and used by the relevant serv-
ice network personnel and may be sent to Porsche in
order to comply with product monitoring obligations
or to improve quality for example. Fault and event
memories in the vehicle can be reset by a service
center during repairs or servicing.
Using functions in the vehicle
Within the scope of the selected equipment options,
you can enter information such as multimedia and
address book data or navigation destinations and
other settings in the vehicle comfort and infotain-
ment functions. This data may be stored locally in
the vehicle or it may be contained on a device which
you have connected to the vehicle (e.g. smartphone,
USB stick or MP3 player). If this data is stored in the
vehicle, you can delete it at any time. This data is
only sent to third parties at your request and partic-
ularly while using online services, only in accordance
with the settings you have selected.
If your vehicle has the required equipment, you can
control your connected smartphone or another mo-
bile device using the controls integrated in the ve-
hicle. Images and sound from your smartphone can
be output via the multimedia system. Certain infor-
mation can also be transferred to your smartphone.
This includes general vehicle information or position
data, for example, depending on the type of integra-
tion. This allows optimal use of selected apps on the
smartphone, e.g. for using a navigation system or
music playback. The smartphone cannot be used to
actively access vehicle data. The type of subsequent
data processing is determined by the provider of the
relevant app being used. Whether and which set-
tings you can configure for this depends on the app
and the operating system on your smartphone.
Use of online services
If your vehicle has a wireless network connection,
this can be used to exchange data between your
vehicle, the surrounding area and other systems. You
can connect to the wireless network via the send
and receive unit in the vehicle or via your connected
mobile devices (e.g. smartphones). Online functions
can be used via this wireless network connection.
These include online services and applications/apps
that are available to you through Porsche or other
providers.
For Porsche online services, the various functions
are described at a suitable place (e.g. the Porsche
Connect website) and the related data protection
legislation information is provided. Personal data can
be used for the provision of online services. The re-
quired data exchange takes place via a protected
connection, e.g. with the Porsche IT systems set up
for this purpose. Collection, processing and use of
personal data beyond that required for the provision
of services takes place exclusively on the basis of
legal authorization or consent.
