out regularly as prescribed by the manufacturer.

providers, who inform you extensively and free of

data, what data they have about you and for what

Legal requirements for data disclosure
Electronic control units are mounted in the vehicle.
Insofar as there are statutory provisions in this regard,
Volkswagen is obliged in exceptional cases to provide,
to the extent necessary, the data available to it at the
request of public bodies, e.g. For example, to solve a
crime.
The control units process data that e.g. For example,
they receive from the vehicle's sensors, generate
themselves or exchange with each other. Some of
them are necessary for the safe operation of the
vehicle, others assist in driving (driver assistance

other ways to identify the owner or the driver from
data taken from the vehicle, e.g. eg, registration.
For example:
— Information on the condition of the vehicle,
p. eg speed, deceleration, lateral acceleration,
number of wheel revolutions, indication of
fastened seat belts, etc.
Therefore, the data generated or processed by the
control units can be of a personal nature or, under
certain conditions, become so. If necessary, based
on the available vehicle data, conclusions can be
drawn about e.g. For example, your driving style, your
location, your itinerary or your usage behaviour.
