Why such information is collected?

Is the processing lawful?

Processing of Personal Data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party (Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR), i.e. to purchase our products, install and use the App. The provision of such Personal Data is a contractual requirement, and the data subject is obliged to provide the Personal Data, otherwise the data subject will not be able to purchase our products and/or use the App.
Processing of Personal Data is also necessary when the data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her Personal Data for direct marketing purposes (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR). The data subject is not obliged to provide such Personal Data. However, if such Personal Data is provided, the data subject has the right to withdraw consent at any time.
Processing of Personal Data is necessary to ensure the fulfilment of the legal obligations applicable to us in accordance with the applicable legislation (Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR). This may include the processing of the Personal Data for the purposes of: handling claims submitted by the users (their representatives); fulfilling requirements of legal acts regulating the provision of Services; carrying our internal investigations and operational risk events; fulfilling other legal requirements in accordance with applicable legislation in areas such as accounting, taxation, Personal Data protection, governance and management of our company.
Processing of Personal Data is necessary due to our legitimate interests, which are balanced against the users (as a data subject’s) interests and rights (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR). We may process your Personal Data on the basis of our legitimate interest, for example, for the purposes of: preventing and investigating unauthorised use of the Services or disruption of the Services, including implementing the necessary security measures; preventing fraud; asserting, enforcing, defending or transferring of legal claims and storing of information for this purpose; archiving our files; Service‘s incident management for the purpose of maintaining, examining, developing and improving our activities, products; monitoring our performance indicators and financial planning.

Others working for us

These third parties will access your information only to perform tasks on our behalf in compliance with this Privacy Policy, and we will remain responsible for their handling of your information per our instructions.

Law & Order

4. Manufacturer of supported vehicles

After each connection to the control unit, protected by SFD (Schutz Fahrzeug Diagnose / Vehicle Diagnostic Protection), some of your data (the pseudonymised user ID (name), pseudonymised workshop ID (if applicable), country and or the vehicle VIN number) will be transferred to the Volkswagen Group, which will analyse your actions.

If the Volkswagen Group detects violations of security requirements or other non-compliances and submits a request to us, we will also transfer to the Volkswagen Group and/ or investigative authorities your other Personal Data – full name, address, email, telephone number and workshop ID and address (if applicable).

If we ourselves or using service providers transfer your Personal Data to the non-EU/EEA countries, we comply with the relevant requirements of the GDPR (Article 44 et seq.) and oblige our service providers to comply with these regulations too. Therefore, we will transfer your data to the non-EU/EEA countries only by ensuring the level or security provided by the GDPR. This level of security is primarily ensured by the EU Commission’s adequacy decision. If with regard to a particular country there is no adequacy decision of the EU Commission, we will ensure that your rights and freedoms are properly protected by concluding relevant data transfer agreements containing the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or other authorised data protection clauses. In other cases, we may transfer data based on your express consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us.

Personal Data can be transferred to non-EU/EEA countries if, for example, it:

is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or for the fulfilment of your requests;
takes place as part of the performance of the contract when service providers are involved;
is necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests;
is required by law or you have given your consent.

If we transfer Personal Data to the recipient, which is unable to ensure an adequate level of data protection, based on your consent alone, we point out that the following risks arise: it is possible that the adequate protection of Personal Data is not sufficiently regulated, there is no data protection supervisory authority; there is no control over the further processing of Personal Data (including transfer to third parties); the implementation of your data protection rights can be impeded or disregarded.

Furthermore, your information, including Personal Data, may be transferred to and stored on servers or computers located outside your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction, where data protection laws may differ from those in your region. By consenting to this Privacy Policy and submitting your Personal Data, you agree to this transfer.

How long Personal Data is kept?

When you purchase our products, we will keep your Personal Data for no longer than 10 years (unless we need to keep the data longer under our agreement with the Volkswagen Group - as described below) after which time it will be destroyed.

If you delete your accounts from our Services, we will also delete this information. But please note: (1) there might be some latency in deleting this information from our servers and back-up storage; and (2) we may retain this information if necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements.

Please note that a different procedure than the one above applies to your Personal Data, which we must provide to the Volkswagen Group.

We will store your Personal Data, e.g. first name, surname and contact details (postal code, city, street, phone number and email), as well as the VIN number and the pseudonymised ID code assigned to you, for 30 years from the last use of the SFD service (even after your account is removed from our system). The above storage and transfer of your data is required for the traceability of changes made to the SFD-protected control unit (the changes you can make using the App and OBDevelen hardware).

The Volkswagen Group, after receiving your Personal Data, can analyse and store it in its system for 30 years from the last access to the SFD service. The Volkswagen Group will process your Personal Data, if necessary, under the ground of a legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR and in compliance with the legal obligations imposed on the Volkswagen Group by Regulation (EU) 2018/858 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2018 on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles).

As well as in other cases, when your Personal Data is processed for the purpose of providing it to the Volkswagen Group, you can exercise your rights as a data subject - to object to the processing of Personal Data, to request the deletion of Personal Data, correction of inaccurate data, etc.). In order to exercise the above rights, you must first contact us, and we will forward your request to the Volkswagen Group. Detailed information on how the Volkswagen Group can process your Personal Data can be found here.

We will inform you each time when there is a change in the Volkswagen Group's data processing rules (as far as the processing of your Personal Data is concerned).

Attention!

By deleting your account, you lose your vehicle’s history, PRO/Ultimate subscription, and all credits. Used PRO/Ultimate subscription that you have will not work anymore with another account.

If you consent to receive marketing emails from us, we will retain your Personal Data for this purpose for up to 2 years from the date of your receipt. After this period, your data will be securely deleted unless you renew your consent. If you consent to participate in surveys, research and/or studies organized by us, we will retain your Personal Data for this purpose for up to 2 years from the date of your receipt.
