Note  
Volvo privacy settings  
You can manage your consent to data sharing with Volvo here.  
Before using the internet  
The terms of use must be accepted once per car in order to use the internet.  
Car location sharing  
Give your consent for the car to be able to share its location. This is necessary if you want to use certain apps and  
functions. For example, location sharing is required for remote vehicle services via Volvo Assistance and the mobile  
app for the car, such as Find my car and the Trips app.[2]

Data is collected to provide better car, safety and app functions.  
The Trips app can then collect data such as the car's position, speed, mileage and power consumption.  
1.7. Handling of recorded and collected data  
Certain information about the car's status and operation is recorded and collected for quality and safety  
reasons. This can provide an understanding of the circumstances around traffic accidents involving the car  
and other usage scenarios.  
Event Data Recorder (EDR)  
This vehicle is equipped with an Event Data Recorder. Its primary purpose is to register and record data related to traffic acci-  
dents or collision-like situations, such as times when the airbag deploys or the vehicle strikes an obstacle in the road. The data  
is recorded in order to increase understanding of how vehicle systems work in these types of situations. The EDR is designed  
to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short time, usually 30 seconds or less.  
The EDR in this car is designed to record data related to the following in the event of traffic accidents or collision-like situations:  
How the various systems in the car worked.  
Whether the driver and passenger seatbelts were fastened or tensioned.  
The driver's use of the accelerator or brake pedal.  
The travel speed of the car.  
This creates a better understanding about the circumstances in which traffic accidents, injuries and damage occur. The EDR  
only records data when a non-trivial collision situation occurs. The EDR does not record any data during normal driving condi-  
tions. Similarly, the system never registers who is driving the vehicle, or the geographic location of the accident or collision-like  
situation. However, other parties, such as the police, could use the recorded data in combination with the type of personally  
identifiable information routinely collected after a traffic accident. Special equipment and access to either the car or the EDR is  
required to be able to interpret the registered data.

Additional recorded data  
In addition to the EDR, the car is equipped with a number of computers designed to continually check and monitor the func-  
tion of the car. They can record data during normal driving conditions, but in particular register faults affecting the car's opera-  
tion and functionality, or upon activation of the car's active driver support function.  
Some of the recorded data is required to enable service and maintenance technicians to diagnose and remedy any faults that  
occurred in the car. The registered information is also needed to enable Volvo to satisfy legal requirements laid out in laws and  
by government authorities. Information registered in the car is stored in its computer until the car is serviced or repaired.  
In addition to the above, the registered information can be used in combined form for research and product development with  
the aim of continuously improving the safety and quality of Volvo cars.  
Volvo will not contribute to the above-described information being disclosed to third parties without the car owner's consent.  
To comply with national legislation and regulations, Volvo may be forced to disclose information of this nature to the police or  
other authorities who may assert a legal right to access such information. Special technical equipment which Volvo and work-  
shops that have entered into agreements with Volvo have access to is required to be able to read and interpret the recorded  
data. Volvo is responsible for ensuring that the information, which is transferred to Volvo during servicing and maintenance, is  
securely stored and managed and that its management complies with relevant legal requirements. For further information, con-  
tact a Volvo dealer.  
TCAM  
Cars equipped with TCAM can share data with Volvo on the car's safety functions as well as other functions in the car. Data are  
collected for product development, quality follow-up and safety work, as well as to improve and monitor the car's quality and  
its safety functions. The purpose of data collection is also to manage Volvo Car Corporation's warranty undertakings.
