CONNECTED TRAVEL ASSIST PRIVACY POLICY

This Privacy Policy aims to inform you about the collection, processing and use of your personal data when you use the “Connected Travel Assist with mass location data” driver assist function.

2. What personal data do we process, how do we use it, what is its legal basis and how long do we keep the data?

The Entity will process your personal data for the purpose of downloading route information. When “Connected Travel Assist with mass location data” is used, learned routes in the form of route information are required which need to be downloaded during the journey on demand. To retrieve the necessary route information for your route, an online connection between the vehicle and our data server is established and the current geolocation of the vehicle is transmitted. The route information associated with the vehicle’s geolocation is then sent back to the vehicle, where available (see next section) and used by the “Connected Travel Assist with mass location data” driver assist function.

On the other hand, if you are a guest user, the legal basis for the processing of your personal data is the legitimate interest (article 6.1 f) of General Data Protection Regulation) since the processing of the aforementioned data is originated by the mere use of Connected Travel Assist with mass location data function. Otherwise, the function cannot work properly. Therefore, the Entity as data controller needs to process your personal data in order to enable you as guest user to use this function since it is considered that your interests as an individual are not overridden by this processing. Taking into account the data that the function needs to be enabled, it will not be possible for you as guest user to exercise your right to object due to it is not possible to use the function without processing personal data. If you do not want your data be processed, note that you cannot use this function.

3. Who are the recipients of my personal data?

The disclosure of your personal and vehicle data to third parties only will take place in compliance with the appropriate legal obligations.

The Entity will give access to data to third parties, such as IT service providers, acting as data processors for the purpose of offering this function. These third parties will process the personal data always on our behalf and in accordance with our instructions.

Volkswagen AG is our service provider for anonymising the data, which in turn hires other service providers such as AUDI AG and CARIAD SE to carry out this anonymisation service, with all of them acting as subprocessors. The data is encrypted in accordance with the agreements made with Volkswagen and exclusively processed on data servers in the EU. Some of these service providers may be located in the United States, therefore access to data from the United States cannot be ruled out. A corresponding EU standard data protection agreement (as a guarantee for data processing in non-EU countries) was concluded to ensure that your personal data is sufficiently protected.
