EDPB Guidelines on connected vehicles

Guidelines 01/2020 on processing personal data in the context of connected vehicles and mobility related applications

The scope of these guidelines focus on the data processing in the context of non-professional use of connected vehicles. With respect to ePD, the guidelines specify that in certain cases connected vehicle and device connected to it should be considered as a “terminal equipment” (just like a computer, a smartphone or a smart TV) and provisions of ePD Article 5(3) would apply where relevant. The guidelines further specify the application of consent requirements under ePD.
