in understanding how a vehicle’s systems per-
formed. The EDR is designed to record data
related to the driving dynamics and safety sys-
tems for a short time: max. 30 seconds, typi-
cally less.
Services from the vehicle manufacturer
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record
the following data, for example:
Where online services from the vehicle man-
ufacturer are concerned, the corresponding
functions are described in the appropriate
place, for instance the Owner's Manual or
manufacturer's web page. The relevant legal
information pertaining to data protection may
also be found on the manufacturer’s website.
Personal data may be used to perform online
services. Data is exchanged over a secure con-
nection, for instance with the IT systems of the
vehicle manufacturer intended for this purpose.

How various systems in the vehicle were
operating.
Whether or not the driver and passenger
seat belts were fastened.
How far, if at all, the driver was depressing
the accelerator and/or brake pedal.
How fast the vehicle was traveling.
This data can help provide a better un-
derstanding of the circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur.
Any collection, processing, and use of personal
data above and beyond that needed to pro-
vide the services must always be based on a
legal permission, contractual arrangement or
consent. It is also possible to activate or deac-
tivate the data connection as a whole. This ex-
cludes functions and services required by law
such as Assist systems.
EDR data is recorded by the vehicle only if a
nontrivial crash situation occurs; no data is re-
corded by the EDR under normal driving condi-
tions and no personal data, for instance name,
gender, age, and crash location, are recorded.
However, other parties such as law enforce-
ment could combine the EDR data with the
type of personally identifying data routinely ac-
quired during a crash investigation.
Services from other providers
When using online services from other provid-
ers, these services are the responsibility of the
relevant provider and subject to their data pri-
vacy conditions and terms of use. The vehicle
manufacturer has no influence on the content
exchanged during this process. Information on
the way in which personal data is collected and
used in relation to services from third parties,
the scope of such data, and its purpose, can
be obtained from the relevant service provider.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special
equipment is required, and access to the vehi-
cle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the
vehicle manufacturer, other parties such as law
enforcement that have the special equipment
can read the information if they have access to
the vehicle or the EDR.
