About this document
■ Data protection
Regulation (EU) 165/2014 and Imple-
mentation Regulation (EU) 2016/799 as
amended place several requirements on
the DTCO4.1 in terms of data protec-
tion. In addition, the DTCO4.1 fulfils the
requirements of the General Data Pro-
tection Regulation (EU) 2016/679, as
amended.
This particularly affects:
• The driver's consent to the processing
of personal ITS data è Personal ITS
data [}10]
• The driver's consent to the processing
of personal VDO data è Personal
VDO data [}10]
The first time the driver card is inserted
into the DTCO4.1, the equipment will
prompt whether the driver consents to
the processing of his personal data.
IMPORTANT
Further information relating to data pro-
tection, particularly with respect to data
collection and data usage, are available
from your employer and/or client.
Please note that Continental Automot-
ive Technologies GmbH acts solely as
a processor in accordance with your
employer/client.
IMPORTANT
Please note that any given consent can
be revoked at any time. Any data pro-
cessing based on your consent carried
out up to the revocation is not affected
by this.
è Changing settings to personal ITS
data [}92]
è Changing settings to personal VDO
data [}93]
IMPORTANT
The data is saved in the tachograph
and, after reaching the maximum data
volume, systematically overwritten one
by one, starting with the oldest entries –
after one year at the earliest.
External devices communicating with the
tachograph can access the data de-
scribed below, provided the driver has
consented to the recording.
IMPORTANT
Further data protection information re-
garding personal data can be found un-
der https://www.fleet.vdo.de/meta-nav-
