About this document
■ Data protection
The DTCO 4.0 must meet numerous
data protection requirements pursuant to
Regulation (EU) 165/2014 as well as the
current version of Implementing Regula-
tion (EU) 2016/799. In addition, the
DTCO4.0 fulfils the requirements of the
General Data Protection Regulation
(EU) 2016/679, as amended.
This affects in particular:
• The driver's consent to the processing
of personal ITS data
• The driver's consent to the processing
of personal VDO data
The first time that the driver card is inser-
ted into the DTCO4.0 and after the
manual addition on the tachograph, the
driver is asked if he consents to the pro-
cessing of his personal data.
IMPORTANT
For further data protection information,
especially in relation to the scope of the
data collection and the data use, please
contact your employer and/or customer.
Please note that Continental Automot-
ive GmbH acts solely as a processor
according to the instructions for your
employer/customer.
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 [}88]
è Changing settings to personal VDO
data [}89]
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
Real-time data can be retrieved at any
time in the vehicle network, irrespective
of the driver's consent. If no other data
protection concept exists, this data may
only leave the vehicle network with the
driver's consent.

played in real time.
The following personal additional data
are recorded subject to the driver's con-
sent:
• D1/ D2-Status inputs
• Engine speed profiles
• Speed profiles
• the 4 Hz speed signal
IMPORTANT

■ Designations
The following designations are used in
this instruction manual:
• The DTCO 1381 Release 4.0 is re-
ferred to as DTCO 4.0.
• The covered interface on the front of
the DTCO 4.0 is used both for down-
loading data and for parameter set-
ting. It is referred to as the front inter-
face.
• The AETR Agreement (Accord
Européen sur les Transports Routiers)
specifies provisions for the driving and
rest times for cross-border transport. It
therefore also forms part of this
manual.
•Mixed operation Mixed operation
Means the mixed use of vehicles with
analogue and digital tachographs.
•Crew operation Means a journey with
2 drivers.
•Mass memory Is the data memory in
the device.
