How we helped

We provided advice on:

• The Cloud Computing arrangements with the central technology platform provider for provisioning the connected car services.
• The third party data feed provision for connected car services.
• Mobile app integration with the vehicles.
• UK GDPR implications associated with data transfers, including live traffic data.
• Undertaking DPIAs working closely with the tech and engineering teams of the client, as well as providing guidance to the software design team on the user interface design for the in-car controls from a data protection law perspective.
• International data transfers.

Outcomes

Our advice on the complex data protection landscape arrangements associated with Connected Car arrangements, enabled our client to address important GDPR compliance requirements, as well as to mitigate against cyber risks associated with the Connected Car ecosystem. This helped our client to guard against the risks of multi-million-pound fines under the GDPR regime, whilst also boosting confidence amongst our client’s consumer customers about how their personal data was going to be used.
