DATA MEMORY
General
Control units are installed in
the vehicle. Control units pro-
cess data that they receive, for
example, from vehicle sensors,
or that they generate them-
selves or exchange between
each other. Some control units
are required for the vehicle to
function safely or provide as-
sistance during riding, for ex-
ample assistance systems. In
addition, control units enable
comfort or infotainment func-
tions.
Information on data that has
been stored or exchanged can
be obtained from the manufac-
turer of the vehicle, for example
via a separate booklet.
Personal reference
Each vehicle is identified with a
clear vehicle identification num-
ber. Depending on the coun-
try, 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 ob-
tained from the vehicle to trace
the rider or vehicle owner, for
example using the Connected-
Drive user account.
Data protection rights
In accordance with applicable
data protection laws, vehicle
users have certain rights in re-
lation 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

8 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
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 re-
quest 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 responsib-
ilities, the manufacturer of the
vehicle is obligated to make its
stored data available to the rel-
evant 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 en-
titled in individual cases to read
out data from the vehicle them-
selves.
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,
for example wheel speed,
wheel circumferential velo-
city, deceleration
Environmental conditions, for
example temperature
The data is only processed in
the vehicle itself and is gener-
ally non-permanent. The data is
not stored beyond the operat-
ing period.
Electronic components, for ex-
ample control units, contain
components for storing tech-
nical information. Information
can be temporarily or perman-

9
ently stored on the vehicle con-
dition, component loads, incid-
ents or errors.
This information is generally
used to document the condi-
tion of a component, a module,
a system or the surrounding
area, for example:
Operating conditions of sys-
tem components, for example
filling levels, tyre pressure
Malfunctions and faults in im-
portant system components,
for example light and brakes
Response of the vehicle in
special riding situations, for
example engagement of the
driving dynamics systems
Information on incidents
resulting in damage to the
vehicle
The data is necessary for the
provision of control unit func-
tions. Furthermore, the data
is used to detect and rectify
malfunctions and to enable the
vehicle manufacturer to optim-
ise vehicle functions.
The vast majority of this data
is non-permanent and is only
processed in the vehicle it-
self. 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 pro-
cesses, warranty cases and
quality assurance measures,
this technical information can
be read out of the vehicle to-
gether with the vehicle identi-
fication number.
The information can be read
out by a BMW Motorrad
retailer or another qualified
service partner or specialist
workshop. The legally stip-
ulated socket for on-board
diagnosis (OBD) in the vehicle
is used to read out the data.
The data is obtained, pro-
cessed 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 monitor-
ing 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.

10 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Error and incident memories in
the vehicle can be reset during
servicing or repair work by a
BMW Motorrad retailer or an-
other qualified service partner
or specialist workshop.
Data input and data transfer
in the vehicle
General
Depending on the equipment,
comfort and customised
settings can be stored in the
vehicle and can be changed or
reset at any time.
If required, data can be entered
in the entertainment and
communication system of the
vehicle, for example using a
smartphone.
Depending on the individual
equipment, this includes:
Multimedia data, such as mu-
sic for playback
Contacts data for use in con-
nection with a communication
system or an integrated navig-
ation system
Entered destinations
Data on the use of internet
services. This data can be
stored locally in the vehicle
or is located on a device that
is connected to the vehicle,
for example smartphone, USB
stick, MP3 player. If this data
is stored in the vehicle, the
data can be deleted at any
time.
This data is transferred to third
parties only if personally re-
quested within the context of
using online services. This de-
pends on the selected settings
when using the services.
Incorporation of mobile
devices
Depending on the equipment,
mobile devices connected to
the vehicle, for example smart-
phones, can be controlled using
the operating elements of the
vehicle.
The image and sound of the
mobile device can then be out-
put via the multimedia system.
At the same time, specific in-
formation is transferred to the
mobile device. Depending on
the type of integration, this in-
cludes, for example, position
data and additional general
vehicle information. This en-
ables optimal use of the selec-
ted apps, for example naviga-
tion or music playback.
The type of additional data pro-
cessing is determined by the
provider of the respective app.
The scope of the possible set-
tings depends on the corres-
ponding app and the operating
system of the mobile device.

11
Services
General
If the vehicle has a wireless
connection, this enables the
exchange of data between
the vehicle and other systems.
The wireless connection
is enabled by the vehicle's
own transceiver unit or
using personally integrated
mobile devices, for example
smartphones. Online functions
can be accessed through this
wireless connection. These
include online services and
apps that are provided by the
vehicle manufacturer or by
other providers.
Services of the vehicle manu-
facturer
For online services of the
vehicle manufacturer, the
individual functions are
described at suitable points,
for example rider's manual,
website of the manufacturer.
At the same time, information
is also provided on the
relevant data protection law.
Personal data may be used to
provide online services. Data
is exchanged using a secure
connection, for example with
the IT systems provided by the
vehicle manufacturer.
Obtaining, processing and us-
ing personal data outside of
the normal provision of ser-
vices requires legal permission,
contractual agreement or con-
sent. It is also possible to have
the entire data connection ac-
tivated or deactivated. Stat-
utory functions are excluded
from this.
Services from other providers
When using online services
from other providers, these
services are subject to the re-
sponsibility and the data pro-
tection and operating con-
ditions of the individual pro-
vider. The vehicle manufacturer
has no influence on the con-
tent that is exchanged in this
instance. Information on the
type, scope and purpose of the
data capture and use of per-
sonal data as part of the ser-
vices of third parties can be
ascertained from the individual
provider.
INTELLIGENT EMERGENCY
CALL SYSTEM
with intelligent emergency
callOE

12 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Principle
The intelligent emergency call
system enables manual or auto-
matic emergency calls, for ex-
ample in the event of an acci-
dent.
The emergency calls are re-
ceived by an emergency call
centre that is commissioned by
the vehicle manufacturer.
For more information on the
intelligent emergency call sys-
tem and its functions, see the
section entitled "Operation"
( 67).
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 activa-
tion and function of the intel-
ligent emergency call system
is the concluded Connected-
Ride 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 pro-
tection of natural persons dur-
ing the processing of personal
data.
The processing of personal
data by the intelligent emer-
gency 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 can process
personal data only with the ex-
press permission of the per-
son affected by the data pro-
cessing, for example the vehicle
owner.
SIM card
The intelligent emergency call
system operates via the mobile
phone network using the SIM
card installed in the vehicle.
The SIM card is permanently
logged into the mobile phone
network to enable rapid con-
nection setup. Data is sent to
the vehicle manufacturer in the
event of an emergency.

13
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. It is not
possible for the provider to
trace a connection between
the vehicle's VIN and the phone
number of the installed SIM
card. Only the manufacturer of
the vehicle can link a VIN and
the phone number of the SIM
card installed in a particular
vehicle.
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, in-
formation 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 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 emer-
gency call is automatically ac-
tivated.
Sent information
When making an emergency
call using the intelligent emer-
gency call system, the system
forwards the same information
to the designated emergency
call centre as is forwarded to
the public emergency opera-
tions 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 detec-
ted by the vehicle sensors, to
assist the emergency services
response.
Contact details, for example
the phone number of the
installed SIM card and the

14 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
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 ana-
lysed. After this, the voice re-
cordings 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 emer-
gency call is processed exclus-
ively to carry out the emer-
gency call. As part of its stat-
utory obligation, the manufac-
turer of the vehicle provides
information about the data that
it has processed and any data
that it still has stored.
