The guarantee against perforation due to corrosion of the repaired  
areas will be specified.  
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.  
Long Term Mobility Guarantee  
Your rights with regard to data protection Under  
In many European countries, the selling Volks wagen dealer  
grants an extensive Long Term Mobility Guarantee to new  
vehicles from the factory. This guarantee applies from the  
delivery of the vehicle and until the interval of the first inspection  
is fulfilled.  
current data protection legislation, you have certain rights  
against Volkswagen regarding the possible processing of your  
personal data.  
According to it, you have the right to ask Volkswagen or third  
parties, e.g. For example, breakdown service companies,  
garages or online in-vehicle service providers, who inform you  
extensively and free of charge, as long as they have stored your  
personal data, what data they have about you and for what  
purpose, as well as the origin of the same. You can also request  
information about the transfer of data to other instances.  
If you purchase the vehicle directly from Volks wagen AG, the  
latter grants you the Long-Term Mobility Guarantee from the  
date of delivery and until the first inspection interval expires.  
Your Volkswagen dealer will extend the Long-Term Mobility  
Guarantee until the next prescribed inspection if it is carried out  
at his premises. The cost of the complete service package is  
included in the price of the service.  
You will find more information about your legal rights, e.g. For

With specialized help, e.g. For example, in a workshop (if  
necessary, against payment), you can retrieve data that is only  
stored locally in the vehicle.

Protection Regulation  
Legal requirements for data disclosure Insofar as  
European:  
there are legal 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.  
Data processing in the vehicle  
Electronic control units are mounted in the vehicle. 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 support driving (driver assistance  
systems) and still others enable comfort functions or additional  
functions of the infotainment system.  
Public bodies are also authorized, within the framework of current  
legislation, to consult the vehicle data themselves in isolated  
cases. Thus, in the event of an accident, they could e.g. For  
example, consult information registered in the airbag control unit  
that could help to clarify said accident.  
Personal references All vehicles are

other ways to identify the owner or the driver from data taken  
For example:

units usually contain data memories. These memories are used  
to document, temporarily or permanently, information on the  
condition of the vehicle, the request for components, maintenance  
needs, as well as incidents and technical failures.  
Reprogram control units  
In general, all the data necessary for component management  
is stored in the control units. The programming of some  
convenience functions, such as convenience indicators, single  
door unlocking and display indications, can be changed using  
special workshop equipment. If the comfort functions are  
reprogrammed, the data and descriptions in this instruction

You can save comfort settings (personalization) in the vehicle,

When you make use of services, e.g. For example, for repair or  
maintenance, the stored operating data as well as the vehicle  
identification number can be called up and used if necessary.  
Depending on the equipment in question, for example:  
This data is accessible to employees of the Service network, e.g.  
e.g., from workshops, or third parties, e.g. For example,

vehicle is equipped with the corresponding  
equipment, you can connect your mobile phone or

function, to the vehicle so that you can control them  
with the controls integrated in the vehicle. In this

transmitted to your mobile phone. For example,

this regard, please inform yourself about the display

If there is the possibility of using online services  
from other providers, these providers are solely  
responsible for said services, and these services  
are subject to the data protection and use conditions  
of said providers. Volkswagen has no influence on  
the content exchanged within the framework of these  
services.  
For this reason, ask the provider in question about  
the type, scope and purpose of the collection and  
use of personal data in the context of the services  
it provides.  
This makes it possible to use certain applications  
installed on the mobile phone, e.g. g., navigation or  
music playback. No other interaction between the  
mobile phone and the vehicle takes place, especially  
no active access to vehicle data. The provider of the  
application used determines the type of processing  
to which the data is subsequently subjected.  
Depending on the application in question and the  
operating system of your mobile phone, you may or  
may not make settings for it.
