Point 3:-
"Obtain affirmative consent before using geolocation, biometric, or driver behavior information for marketing and before sharing such information with unaffiliated third parties for their own use." Just the sort of information insurance companies would love to get their hands on. Any opportunity to raise your premiums based on "driver behavior" or even "geolocation", or even to use such information to deny paying out should anything untpward occur. |

Perhaps the Government should reclaim the subsidy from those that have not recharged their cars a certain number of times in the mileage they have done.
Preparing to duck now!

Not according to my dealer. I asked if they could tell me when the DPF last regenerated. They said this info wasn't logged.
I was curious because in 2 years of use I hadn't detected a single regen unlike my Honda where a regen was very obvious and fairly frequent. Perhaps having an aux heater on the XC means fewer regens.

Menu Cars Buy Own AboutDiscover VolvoBuild Your Own Customer privacy policy SCOPE AND PURPOSE This policy is applicable to the Processing of customers' Personal Data at all companies included in the Volvo Car Group ("Volvo Cars", “our”, “us” or "we"). The purpose of this policy is to provide our current, former and potential customers (jointly referred to as "customers" or "you") with a general understanding of: - The circumstances under which we collect and process your Personal Data - The types of Personal Data we collect - The reasons for collecting your Personal Data - How we handle your Personal Data - Distribution of responsibility for the Processing of Personal Data between various legal entities at Volvo Cars, and - Contact details for us so you can receive information about and claim your rights in relation to our processing of your Personal Data. This policy is updated continuously to reflect the measures taken by Volvo Cars in relation to your Personal Data. CONTROLLER Volvo Car Corporation (a Swedish legal entity with corporate registration number 556074-3089) is the Controller in relation to Processing of your Personal Data for research and development of new and current car models, and also for certain global services offered to customers. Furthermore, Volvo Car Corporation is Controller for any Processing of Personal Data in relation to the monitoring of the quality of the cars and any potential safety recalls as well as to meet regulatory requirements. Each national sales company within Volvo Cars is generally responsible for marketing, sales and customer relations as well as market specific services in its market. The national sales company is Controller for the Processing of Personal Data for these purposes. In markets without a national sales company, an importer usually has the same responsibility as a national sales company. Therefore, the importer is the Controller in these instances. Volvo Cars contractually requires its dealers and repairers to comply with rules concerning data protection. Note that Volvo Cars and its authorised dealers and repairers are separate legal entities, and that we are generally not responsible if such dealers and repairers do not follow applicable laws. If you have questions regarding your dealer's or repairer's use of your Personal Data, please contact the dealer or repairer directly. PRINCIPLES OF DATA PROCESSING The Processing of your Personal data forms an important part of our provision of products and services to you. We appreciate the trust you place in us when providing us with your Personal data, and consider your privacy an essential part of the services we offer. In order to safeguard your Personal Data while increasing the customer value and offering enhanced and safer driving experiences, we adhere to the following five general principles. FREEDOM OF CHOICE Your Personal Data belongs to you. We strive not to make any assumptions regarding your privacy preferences and aim to design our services so that you can choose whether or not to share your Personal Data with us. BALANCE OF INTERESTS Where the Processing of your Personal Data is necessary for the pursuit of a legitimate interest, and where this interest outweighs the need to protect your privacy, we may process certain Personal Data without obtaining your consent if so permitted by law. In certain other situations, we may also process your Personal Data without your consent if so is required in accordance with applicable law. For more information, see the "Consent" section below. PROPORTIONALITY Volvo Cars will only process our customers' Personal Data if it is adequate, relevant and necessary in relation to the purpose for which it has been gathered. We aim to anonymize your Personal Data when a function or service can be achieved with anonymized data. If we combine anonymized or non-Personal Data with your Personal Data, it will be treated as Personal Data for as long as it remains combined. TRANSPARENCY AND SECURITY Volvo Cars believes in being transparent about which Personal Data we process and for which purposes. To us it is also vital to protect your Personal Data since one of Volvo Cars' core values is to protect what is important to you. On request, Volvo Cars will provide customers with further information regarding our Processing and protection of your Personal Data. LEGAL COMPLIANCE It is Volvo Cars' policy to comply with the applicable laws, rules and regulations governing privacy and data protection in each and every country where we operate. Where necessary, we will adjust our Processing of your Personal Data as described in this policy to ensure legal compliance. The Personal Data which Volvo Cars collects about you and the vehicle will be used: - to provide you with products and services, including to verify your eligibility for certain purchases and services as well as to offer you enhanced offers and experiences; - to inform you of updates to, or changes in, our products and services, including but not limited to changes to our terms and conditions and policies; - to inform you of new products, services and events; - to provide vehicle support and services (warranty service, recall information, etc.); - for product development purposes, for example to improve vehicle performance, quality and safety; - to evaluate and improve our offering to, and communication with customers; - to comply with legal requirements or lawful authority requests; - to inform you about our products and services and identify those that may be of interest to you; - to carry out market research; and - for analysis and customer profiling purposes (online and social included) done by ourselves and our chosen suppliers. HELPFUL DEFINITIONS Volvo Cars makes use of the below listed definitions in this policy: - "Controller" means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the Processing of Personal Data; - "Processor" means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller; - "Personal Data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person; - "Processing" means any operation or set of operations which is performed on Personal Data or on sets of Personal Data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction; - "Sensitive Personal Data" means Personal Data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, and the Processing of genetic data, biometric data for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person, data concerning health or data concerning a natural person's sex life or sexual orientation. DATA COLLECTION You may provide us with information about you or your vehicle when utilising Volvo Cars' services in or outside a vehicle or in other contacts with Volvo Cars, for example through our websites or customer centres (in this context, please note that phone calls may be recorded, with your consent, for quality assurance purposes). We may also obtain such data from our authorised dealers and repairers and other third parties. Such data may include: - your contact information (name, address, telephone number, email address, etc.); - demographic information (age, marital status, household composition, etc.); - vehicle information (vehicle identification number (VIN), model, date of purchase, service history, etc.); - location data generated by your activities (navigation assistance, search queries, location sharing, etc.); and - data pertaining to your purchase and use of our products and services (customer preferences and settings, purchase history, Volvo ID, etc.). Your vehicle will also automatically collect data relating to the vehicle and its surroundings, primarily of technical nature and not directly related to you as a person. Such data ("Vehicle-recorded data") is typically connected to the vehicle identification number (VIN) of the vehicle and may therefore be traceable to you. Vehicle-recorded data may include: - safety information (whether airbags or belt tensioners have been triggered, whether the doors and windows are locked or open, etc.); - system functionality status (of the engine, throttle, steering, and brakes, etc.); - driving data (vehicle speed, brake and accelerator pedal use, steering wheel movement, etc.); - location data (the position of the vehicle in case of an accident, etc.); and - surroundings data (temperature outside the vehicle, images, etc.). Information about certain Vehicle-recorded data is also included in the Owner's Manual. We are particularly careful and apply additional measures if and when collecting and Processing Sensitive Personal Data, as required by applicable law. For avoidance of doubt, it is noted that applicable law may require other kind of data to also be treated as Sensitive Personal Data |

Yeah! I would have thought by now you Guys would have twigged, just because something is written down (in a way that pretty well covers their ass in every which way) is the truth, it really is not.
Recording data does not mean it will violate your personal rights either. (unless the police get hold of it) and thus they are not required to inform you that they are recording and logging data for their use. Like many things we may never know, well that is what VAG, and a few others thought. |
