Operational Data in the Vehicle
Control units process data for the operation of the vehicle.
These include, for example:
Typically, this data is volatile and is not stored beyond the operating time and processed only in the vehicle itself. Control devices often have data storage. This is installed to temporarily or permanently be able to document information on the vehicle condition, component stress and technical events and faults.
The following are generally stored depending on the technical equipment:
In special cases (e.g. if the vehicle has recognised a fault) it may be necessary to store the data, which is actually only volatile.
If the servicing (e.g. repairs, maintenance) is questioned, the stored operational data can, where required, be read out and used together with the vehicle identification number. The read-out from the vehicle can be performed by staff of the service network (e.g. workshops, manufacturers) or third parties (e.g. breakdown services). The same applies to warranty cases and quality assurance measures.
The read-out usually takes place via the statutory connection for OBD (“on-board diagnostics”) in the vehicle. The operational data read out documents the technical states of the vehicle or individual components, helps to diagnose faults, comply with warranty obligations and improve quality. This data, in particular information on the component stress, technical events and other faults, is sent together with the vehicle identification number to the manufacturer. In addition, the manufacturer is liable for product liability. The manufacturer also uses the operational data for matters such as recalls. This data can also be used to examine claims by the customer under warranty and guarantee.
Error memory in the vehicle can be reset during repair or service work or at your request via a service operation.
Comfort and Infotainment Features
You can store comfort settings and individualisations in the vehicle and reset them at any time.
Depending on the respective equipment these include, e.g.
You can upload data yourself within the selected equipment to the infotainment features of the vehicle.
Depending on the respective equipment these include, e.g.
This data for the comfort and infotainment features can be stored locally in the vehicle or can be stored on a device, which you have connected to the vehicle (e.g. smart-phone, USB stick or MP3 player). If you have provided this data yourself, you can delete it at any time.
This data is sent from the vehicle only at your request, in particular when using on-line services according to settings selected by you.
Smart-Phone Integration, e.g. Android Auto or Apple Car Play
If your vehicle is so equipped, you can connect your smart-phone or other mobile end device with the vehicle, so that you can control this using the controls built into the vehicle. This image and sound from the smart-phone may be played back over the multimedia system. At the same time, certain information is transmitted to your smart-phone. This may include, depending on the type of integration, position data, day/night mode and more general vehicle information. Please find information about this in the operating instructions of the respective vehicle/infotainment system.
The integration allows the use of selected smart-phone apps, such as, e.g., navigation or music playback. There is no further interaction between the smart-phone and the vehicle, in particular any active access of vehicle data. The type of further processing of the data is determined by the provider of the app used. Whether and which settings you can use for this depends on the app in question and the operating system of your smart-phone.
On-Line Services
If your vehicle has a wireless network connection, this enables the exchange of data between your vehicle and other systems. The wireless network connection is enabled by a transmitting and receiving unit or via a mobile device supplied by you (e.g. a smart-phone). On-line functions can be used via this wireless network connection. These include on-line services and applications that are provided by the manufacturer or other providers.
Third-Party Services
Where you take the opportunity to use on-line services from other (third-party) providers, these services are subject to the data protection policy and conditions of use of the relevant provider. We have no regular influence on the content exchanged.
Please inform yourself about the nature, scope and purpose of the collection and use of personal data in the context of third-party services at the respective service provider.
We store your personal data only as long as is necessary for the above purposes, i.e.
Electronic control devices are installed in your vehicle. Control devices process data, which, for example, they receive from vehicle sensors, generate it themselves or exchange it with each other. Some control devices are required for the safe functioning of your vehicle, while others support you when driving (vehicle assistance systems) and others enable comfort or infotainment functions.
The information on data processing in the vehicle is given below:
Personal Reference
Each vehicle is labelled with a unique vehicle identification number. The vehicle identification number is traceable to the current and former holder of the vehicle. There are also other ways to trace the data collected from the vehicle to its holder or driver, e.g. via the number plate.
The data generated or processed by the controllers can therefore be personal or related to a person under certain conditions. Depending on the vehicle data, conclusions about your driving habits, your location or your travel route or on the manner of use may be possible.
We collect information through this website (www.gasanzammit.com) through forms that you fill in. We use this information to respond to your enquiries and to provide you with information that may interest you. This data is limited to the kind of information that can be found on a typical business card such as; name, job title, employer/company name, address, email address, and phone number. Within this context, the Personal Data collected must be:
This site also collects and stores certain information automatically using cookies and similar technologies, including IP addresses, the region or general location of a computer or device accessing the internet, browser type, operating system, page view history, and other usage information. See our Cookie Policy for further details.
Statutory Requirements for Disclosure of Data
Where statutory provisions apply, data controllers including Us and Our Principals are fundamentally required to release stored data upon request by state authorities to the extent requested in individual cases (e.g. in the investigation of an offence).
Under the applicable law, state bodies are also authorised to read the data from vehicles themselves in individual cases. In this way information can be read out from the air-bag control unit in the event of an accident, which may assist in investigating this event.
Our premises are safeguarded by several safety measures, including CCTV operations and access controls.
We have signs on our site indicating the places in which CCTV is in operation. The footages and images collected are safely secured and may only be accessed by limited individuals upon a sufficient cause. CCTV data is normally automatically overwritten following 7 days provided that such data may be retained whenever it is required for investigation purposes.
You have the right at any time to appeal against the processing of your data for direct marketing purposes; this applies also to profiling, insofar as it relates to direct advertising. To do so, you can use the unsubscribe feature in our electronic communications, call us on: +356 2778 8200 or email us at compliance@gasan.com. With reference to personal data processed by our Principals, you are requested to refer to the contact details provided in Annex 1 about their channels for consent revocation. If you refuse the processing of your data for the purposes of direct marketing, your data will no longer be used for this purpose.
You also have the right, for reasons resulting from your personal situation, at any time to lodge an objection to the processing of your data, which takes place on the basis of legitimate interests (Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 2 2 f) GDPR); this applies also to profiling, insofar as it relates to legitimate interests. We will no longer process the personal data, unless mandatory reasons worthy of protection for the processing can be verified, which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is for the purpose of making a claim, exercising a claim or defence against legal claims.
Under the relevant statutory requirements you also have the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR), right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR), right to restriction of processing (Article 18 GDPR) and right to data portability (Article 20 GDPR).
