Data memory
General
Electronic control units are installed in the vehicle. Electronic
control units process data received from vehicle sensors,
self-generated data or data exchanged between control units,
for example. Some control units
are required for safe vehicle operation or provide driving assistance, such as driver assistance
systems. Control units also make
comfort and infotainment functions possible.
Information about the stored or
exchanged data can be obtained
from the vehicle manufacturer,
such as in the form of a separate
booklet.
Personal references
Every vehicle is marked with a
unique vehicle identification number. Depending on the country,
the vehicle owner can be identified using the vehicle identification number and license plate
and with the help of the relevant
authorities. There are also other
ways to trace data obtained from
the vehicle back to the rider or
vehicle owner, such as via the
used ConnectedDrive Account.
Data privacy laws
In accordance with applicable
data privacy laws, vehicle users
have certain rights over the vehicle manufacturer or company
that collects or processes personal data.
Vehicle users have the right to
obtain comprehensive information
without charge from the locations
that store the vehicle user's personal data.
These locations may be:
The vehicle manufacturer
Qualified service partners
Specialist workshops
Service providers
Vehicle users may request information about the type of personal data that is stored, the purpose for which the data will be
used and the source of the data.
This information can only be obtained by a registered owner or a
person with written proof authorizing use of the vehicle.
The right to information also includes information related to data
transmitted to other companies
or locations.
The vehicle manufacturer's website contains the appropriate privacy policy notices. The privacy
policy notices contain information
on the right to delete or correct
data. The vehicle manufacturer
also provides the manufacturer
contact information and the contact information of the data security officer.
The vehicle owner can have a
BMW Motorrad retailer or other
qualified service partner or specialist workshop read out the
data stored in the vehicle for a
fee if required.
The vehicle data is read out via
the power socket required by law
for on-board diagnosis (OBD) in
the vehicle.
Legal requirements for the
disclosure of data
The vehicle manufacture is required by the law applicable in
this context to provide authorities with the data stored by the
manufacturer. Providing this data
within the scope required is on a
case-by-case basis, for instance
to clarify a criminal offense.
Government agencies are authorized by the law applicable in this
context to read out the data from
the vehicle themselves in individual cases.
Operating data in the vehicle
Control units process data so
that the vehicle can run.
Examples of these include:

z
General instructions
Status messages from the vehicle and its individual com-
1
ponents, such as wheel RPM,
10
wheel speed and deceleration
Environmental conditions, such
as temperature
The data is processed only in the
vehicle itself and is usually temporary. The data is not stored
beyond the period in which the
vehicle is operating.
Electronic components such as
control units contain components
for storing technical information.
This may be information about
the vehicle's condition, component load, events or faults stored
z
General instructions
temporarily or permanently.
This information generally documents the condition of a component, module, system or the
surrounding area; for example:
Operating conditions of system
components, such as fill levels
and tire pressure
Malfunctions and faults in key
system components, such as
lights and brakes
Vehicle responses in specific
driving situations, such as activation of dynamic driving systems
Information about events causing damage to the vehicle
The data is necessary for providing control unit functions. In
addition, it is used by the vehicle
manufacturer to detect and eliminate malfunctions as well as to
optimize vehicle functions.
The majority of this data is temporary and is processed only
within the vehicle itself. Only a
small amount of event-driven
data is stored in the event data
recorder and fault memory.
When a vehicle is serviced,
such as for repairs, servicing
processes, warranty cases and
quality assurance measures, this
technical information can be read
out from the vehicle together
with the vehicle identification
number.
The information can be read out
by a BMW Motorrad retailer or
other qualified service partner or
specialist workshop. The power
socket required by law for onboard diagnosis (OBD) in the vehicle is used to read out the data.
The data is collected, processed
and used by the respective
service network locations. The
data documents the vehicle's
technical states and helps with
fault finding, compliance with
warranty obligations and quality
improvements.
The manufacturer also has product monitoring obligations arising
from product liability law. The
vehicle manufacturer requires
technical data from the vehicle in
order to fulfill these obligations.
The data from the vehicle can
also be used to verify customer
warranty and guarantee claims.
The fault memory and event data
recorder in the vehicle can be
reset by a BMW Motorrad retailer
or other qualified service partner
or specialist workshop as part of
repair work or servicing.

Depending on the equipment,
mobile end devices connected
to the vehicle, such as smartphones, are controlled using the
vehicle's controls.
This enables audio and visual
output from mobile end devices
through the multimedia system.
At the same time, certain information is transmitted to the mobile end device. This includes for
instance position data and other
general vehicle data, depending
on the type of integration, and
makes it possible to optimize
the use of selected apps, such
as those for navigation or music
playback.
The way the data is processed
further is determined by the
