—Media files for playback of music, films or photos in an Infotainment system.
—Address book data for use with a hands-free system or navigation system.
—Navigation destinations entered.
—Depending on equipment and country, data on the use of online services.
This data can be stored locally in the vehicle or located on a device that you have connected to the vehicle, e.g. mobile telephone. If
this data is stored in the vehicle, you can delete it at any time.
Integration of mobile telephones
If your vehicle contains the necessary equipment, you can connect your mobile telephone or any other mobile end device to your
vehicle so that you can control this device via the controls integrated in the vehicle when the corresponding functions are available. For
example, images and sounds from the mobile telephone can be output through the Infotainment system. At the same time, certain
information is sent to your mobile telephone. This includes location data and further general vehicle information, depending on the
type of integration.
This enables you to use selected mobile telephone apps in the vehicle, e.g. for navigation. The mobile telephone and vehicle do not
interact in any other ways than those described here; in particular the device does not actively access vehicle data. The type of further
data processing depends on the app provider. The settings that you can adjust here depend on the app you are using and the operating
system on your mobile telephone.
Online services
If your vehicle is equipped with a connection to a mobile network, your vehicle will be able to exchange data with other systems. This
mobile network connection enables you to use online functions. This includes online services and apps provided by Volkswagen or
other third-party providers.
Manufacturer services
In the case of Volkswagen online services, Volkswagen describes the respective functions in a suitable place, e.g. in a separate service
description or on an Internet page, and the associated privacy information is provided. Personal data may be required in order to
provide online services. For this, data is exchanged over a secure connection, e.g. using the designated IT systems of the manufacturer.
Any collection, processing and use of personal data that goes beyond the provision of the service takes place exclusively according to
legal regulations, contractual agreements or the necessary permission.
You can activate and deactivate the services and functions, some of which are subject to a fee and in some cases also disable the
vehicle’s entire data connection. This does not apply to any functions and services required by law, e.g. emergency call systems.
Third-party services
If you are able to use online services provided by a party other than the manufacturer, these services are the sole responsibility of the
provider in question and are subject to this provider’s data protection policy and terms and conditions of use. Volkswagen has no
influence on the data processing that takes place here and the content exchanged as part of these services.
Please refer to the provider in question for information about the type, scope and purpose of the collection and use of personal data
related to third-party services.
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like
situations, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehicle's systems
performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30
seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:
—How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
—Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened;
—How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
—How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur.
