Vehicle data recording and

Vehicle data recording

and privacy

Event data recorders

The vehicle has a number of

sophisticated systems that monitor

and control several vehicle data.

Some data may be stored during

regular operation to facilitate repair of

detected malfunctions, other data is

stored only in a crash or near crash

event by systems commonly called

event data recorders (EDR).
The systems may record data about

the condition of the vehicle and how it

was operated (e.g. engine speed,

brake application, seat belt usage).

To read this data special equipment

and access to the vehicle is required.

This will take place when the vehicle

is serviced in a workshop. Some data

is electronically fed into global

diagnostic systems. The

manufacturer will not access

information about a crash event or

share it with others except

■ with the consent of the vehicle

owner or, if the vehicle is leased,

with the consent of the lessee,

■ in response to an official request of

police or similar government office,

■ as part of the manufacturer’s

defense in case of legal

proceedings,

■ as required by law.

In addition, the manufacturer may use

the collected or received data

■ for the manufacturer's research

needs,

■ to make it available for research

needs where appropriate

confidentiality is maintained and

need is shown,

■ to share summary data which is not

tied to a specific vehicle with other

organisations for research

purposes.

Customer information

Radio Frequency

Identification (RFID)

RFID technology is used in some

vehicles for functions such as tyre

pressure monitoring and ignition

system security. It is also used in

connection with conveniences such

as radio remote controls for door

locking/unlocking and starting, and in-

vehicle transmitters for garage door

openers. RFID technology in Opel

vehicles does not use or record

personal information or link with any

other Opel system containing

personal information.
