Data memory
General
Control units are installed in the
vehicle. Control units process
data that they receive, for example, from vehicle sensors, or
that they generate themselves or
exchange between each other.
Some control units are required
for the vehicle to function safely
or provide assistance during riding, for example assistance systems. In addition, control units
enable comfort or infotainment
functions.
Information on data that has
been stored or exchanged can
be obtained from the manufacturer of the vehicle, for example
via a separate booklet.
Personal reference
Each vehicle is identified with a
clear vehicle identification number. Depending on the country,
the vehicle identification number, the number plate and the
corresponding authorities can
be referenced to ascertain the
vehicle owner. There are also
other ways to use data obtained
from the vehicle to trace the rider
or vehicle owner, for example
using the ConnectedDrive user
account.
Data protection rights
In accordance with applicable
data protection laws, vehicle
users have certain rights in relation to the manufacturer of the
vehicle or in relation to companies which collect or process personal data.
Vehicle users have the right to
obtain full information at no cost
from persons or entities storing
personal data of the vehicle user.
These entities may include:
Manufacturer of the vehicle
Qualified service partners
Specialist workshops
Service providers
Vehicle users have the right to
request information on what personal data has been stored, for
what purpose the data is used,
and where the data comes from.
To obtain this information, proof
of ownership or use is required.
The right to information also includes information about data
that has been shared with other
companies or entities.
The website of the vehicle manufacturer contains the applicable
data protection information. This
data protection information includes information on the right to
have data deleted or corrected.
The manufacturer of the vehicle
also provides their contact details
and those of the data protection
officer on their website.
The vehicle owner can also request that a BMW Motorrad Retailer or another qualified service
partner or specialist workshop
read out the data that is stored in
the vehicle for a charge.
The vehicle data is read out using the legally prescribed socket
for on-board diagnosis (OBD) in
the vehicle.
Legal requirements for the
disclosure of data
As part of its legal responsibilities, the manufacturer of the
vehicle is obligated to make its
stored data available to the relevant authorities. This data is
provided in the required scope in
individual cases, for example to
clarify a criminal offence.
In the context of applicable laws,
public agencies are entitled in
individual cases to read out data
from the vehicle themselves.
Operating data in the vehicle
Control units process data to operate the vehicle.
This includes, for example:
Status reports of the vehicle
and its individual components,

The data is necessary for the
provision of control unit functions.
Furthermore, the data is used to
detect and rectify malfunctions
and to enable the vehicle manufacturer to optimise vehicle functions.
The vast majority of this data is
non-permanent and is only processed in the vehicle itself. Only
a small amount of the data is
stored in incident or fault memories as required by events.
If services are accessed, for example repairs, service processes,
warranty cases and quality assurance measures, this technical information can be read out of the
vehicle together with the vehicle
identification number.
The information can be read out
by a BMW Motorrad Retailer or
another qualified service partner or specialist workshop. The
legally stipulated socket for onboard diagnosis (OBD) in the
vehicle is used to read out the
data.
The data is obtained, processed
and used by the relevant parts of
the retailer network. The data is
used to document the technical
conditions of the vehicle, to help
with error localization, to comply
with warranty obligations and to
improve quality.
In addition, the manufacturer has
various product monitoring obligations arising from product liability legislation. To meet these
obligations, the vehicle manufacturer requires technical data
from the vehicle. The data from
the vehicle can also be used to
check warranty claims from the
customer.
Error and incident memories in
the vehicle can be reset during servicing or repair work by
a BMW Motorrad Retailer or another qualified service partner or
specialist workshop.

Intelligent emergency
call system
with intelligent emergency
OE
call
Principle
The intelligent emergency call
system enables manual or automatic emergency calls, for example in the event of an accident.
The emergency calls are received by an emergency call
centre that is commissioned by
the vehicle manufacturer.
For information on operating the
intelligent emergency call system
and its functions, please refer to
"Intelligent emergency call".
Legal basis
Processing of personal data using the intelligent emergency call
system is in line with the following regulations:
Protection of personal data:
Directive 95/46/EC of the
European Parliament and of the
Council.
Protection of personal data:
Directive 2002/58/EC of the
European Parliament and of the
Council.
The legal basis for the activation and function of the intelligent emergency call system is
the concluded ConnectedRide
contract for this function, as well
as the corresponding laws, ordinances and directives of the
European Parliament and of the
European Council.
The relevant ordinances and directives regulate the protection of
natural persons during the processing of personal data.
The processing of personal data
by the intelligent emergency call
system satisfies the European
directives for the protection of
personal data.
The intelligent emergency call
system processes personal data
only with the agreement of the
vehicle owner.
The intelligent emergency call
system and other services with
additional benefits may only process personal data with the express permission of the person
affected by the data processing,
for example the vehicle owner.
SIM card
The intelligent emergency call
system is operated by mobile radio using the SIM card installed
in the vehicle. The SIM card is
permanently logged into the mobile phone network to enable
rapid connection setup. Data is
sent to the vehicle manufacturer
in the event of an emergency.
Improving quality
The data that is transferred in
an emergency is also used by
the manufacturer of the vehicle
to improve product and service
quality.
Location determination
The position of the vehicle can
be determined exclusively by
the mobile phone network provider based on the mobile phone
site locations. The provider cannot link the vehicle identification number and phone number
1
13
z
General instructions
of the installed SIM card. Only
the manufacturer of the vehicle
1
can link the vehicle identification
14
number and phone number of
the installed SIM cards.
Log data of emergency calls
The log data of emergency calls
is stored in a memory of the
vehicle. The oldest log data is
regularly deleted. The log data
includes, for example, information
on when and where an emergency call was made. In exceptional cases, the log data can be
read out of the vehicle memory.
As a rule, log data is only read
out following a court order, and
z
General instructions
this is only possible if the corresponding devices are connected
directly to the vehicle.
Automatic emergency call
The system is designed so that,
following a sufficiently serious
accident, which is detected by
sensors in the vehicle, an emergency call is automatically activated.
Sent information
When making an emergency call
using the intelligent emergency
call system, the system forwards
the same information to the designated emergency call centre as
is forwarded to the public emergency operations centre by the
statutory emergency call system
eCall.
In addition, the intelligent emergency call system sends the following additional information to
an emergency call centre commissioned by the vehicle manufacturer and, if required, to the
emergency services:
Accident data, for example the
direction of impact detected
by the vehicle sensors, to assist the emergency services
response.
Contact details, for example the
phone number of the installed
SIM card and the phone number of the rider, if available, to
enable rapid contact with those
involved in the accident if required.
Data storage
The data for an activated
emergency call is stored in
the vehicle. The data contains
information on the emergency
call, for example the location and
time of the emergency call.
The voice recordings of the
emergency call are stored at the
emergency call centre.
The voice recordings of the customer are stored for 24 hours in
case details of the emergency
call need to be analysed. After
this, the voice recordings are
deleted. The voice recordings
of the employee of the emergency call centre are stored for
24 hours for quality assurance
purposes.
Information on personal data
The data that is processed as
part of the intelligent emergency
call is processed exclusively to
carry out the emergency call. As
part of its statutory obligation,
the manufacturer of the vehicle
provides information about the
data that it has processed and
any data that it still has stored.
