All personal data processing is done following the applicable privacy legislation. If you have any questions regarding the use of your data, please contact our team at the Autoliv Global Privacy Office at [email protected].

What personal data do we use and why?

During the data collection process, participants in the research study are equipped with GoPro cameras aiming to record the driver's journey and behavior. During such a journey, the personal data of other traffic participants could be recorded. The overall purpose of this data collection is to capture Naturalistic Drive Data that will further be used by Autoliv to develop new products.

Personal data usually includes facial images and vehicle license plates. It should be noted that although video data may contain "special categories of personal data", the collection of such data is random and neither party will carry out any processing or other analysis on or about it.

We process such personal data for the following purposes:

  • To collect Naturalistic Drive Data using Data Loggers and
  • To use the Naturalistic Drive Data to develop and/or evaluate the effectiveness / and potential performance of the Crash Detection Vest Algorithm during real-world driving conditions.

On-board cameras can collect the following data: 

Personal data Purpose Lawful basis Retention period
Video recordings and capturing contextual data from the trips performed such as location and electronic or visual information (e.g., the number on the license plate of the car you are driving, wearing glasses, etc.) To collect driver naturalistic behavior to be used as part of the research project Legitimate interest 36 months post data collection

If we need to share your data, we ensure that such recipient processes it by this notice, such as by entering into data transfer agreements or data processing agreements with the recipients. Those agreements include all reasonable and appropriate contractual, legal, technical, and organizational measures to ensure that your information is processed with an adequate level of protection and following the applicable law.

Categories of recipients include:

  • Autoliv companies within the Autoliv Group listed in Annex 1
  • System providers that Autoliv Group engages as processors. The personal information Autoliv collects from you is stored in one or more databases hosted by third parties such as Microsoft Inc. These third parties do not use or have access to your personal information for any purpose other than technical support.
  • Subcontractors/consultants including system providers that Autoliv Group may work with from time to time.
  • Data backup service providers
  • Authorities and law enforcement agencies, if requested for audit purposes or to verify compliance with legal requirements

How do we ensure appropriate protection of personal data when transferred across borders?

Autoliv always ensures that the same high level of protection applies to your data according to the EU General Data Protection Regulation [Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons about the processing of personal data and the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC] and other applicable privacy acts, even when the data is transferred and processed outside of the jurisdiction you are operative in. Your rights concerning your data are not affected when data is transferred to a third country. If you want more information about the technical and organizational measures or the implemented safeguards for third-country transfers, please contact our Privacy Office at [email protected].

What rights do you have related to the processing of your data?

Note: Please note that the exercise of your rights as a data subject is necessarily limited, as Autoliv does not collect or index personal data (no mechanism allows, for example, to search the database for one or more images containing a specific vehicle or person). Therefore, it is highly unlikely that we would be able to identify a specific person in our database unless that person could provide additional information, such as the place and time at which they believe the data was collected, license plate, road involvement/role, formative personal characteristics, and, if applicable, a photograph (not biometric). In principle, all inquiries are examined and answered on a case-by-case basis.

Should an individual submit an appeal in real-time or near real-time to the driver of a corresponding test vehicle, drivers will be instructed to record these objections and forward them for review. Animmediate assertion of the right to erasure directly by the driver cannot be carried out/implemented for technical reasons.

You have several rights related to your data and to receive information directly from us about how we process personal data about you. If you want to know more or come in contact with us to exercise your rights and for other types of privacy questions, please email us at [email protected].
