Terms of use and data sharing
The first time certain services and apps are
started, a pop-up window with the heading
Terms and conditions and Data sharing
may open.
The aim is to inform the user about Volvo's
terms of use and data sharing policy. By
accepting data sharing, the user accepts that
certain information will be sent from the vehi-
cle. This is required for certain services and
apps to work with full functionality.
After a factory reset or e.g. a workshop visit or
a software update, your data sharing preferen-
ces may be reset to default settings. You will
then need to reactivate data sharing for con-
nected services and downloaded apps.
