INTRODUCTION

Mitsubishi Motors Europe B.V. (“MME” or “we”) offers those who purchase certain models of Mitsubishi vehicles the ability to receive Connected Vehicle Services (“Services”). This Privacy Statement explains how Personal Information about you is collected, used, and disclosed by MME with respect to the Services, including by the telematics device on your vehicle (the “Device”), through the online MME Connected Vehicle Services website for customers (the “Owner Portal”), through the My Mitsubishi Connect mobile application (the “Mobile App”), through the MME Connected Vehicle Services customer care agent at 01285 647774 (“Customer Care”), and through dealership records provided to MME in connection with the Services. "Personal Information" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual. This Privacy Statement does not apply to vehicles, products and services that are unrelated to the Services, that are not offered by MME or that do not otherwise link to or incorporate this Privacy Statement.

MME is the "controller" in respect of the above Personal Information for the purposes of the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 ("GDPR"). This means that we are responsible for determining what Personal Information will be collected as well as the purpose for which and the means by which the Personal Information is processed.

For more information about the types of Services or Subscription Packages that are offered in connection with the Connected Vehicle Services, please review the MME Connected Vehicle Services website at https://www.mitsubishi-connect.eu.

Depending on the circumstances, including whether or not you have activated the Services or purchased or renewed a Subscription, this data may include your odometer value, vehicle error codes and other vehicle-related data, and at times will include Vehicle Geolocation Information (as defined below). This data will be collected, used, disclosed and shared by MME in accordance with the Connected Vehicle Services Terms and Conditions (the "Terms"), this Privacy Statement, the Connected Vehicle Services Consent Form (the "Consent Form") and laws, rules and regulations in effect in the country where you purchased your vehicle. MME may also use this data for marketing purposes to offer products and other services to you.

MME will only start collecting this data upon your agreement to the Terms and the Consent Form.

If you agree to the Terms and the Consent Form and subsequently decide at any time that you do not want us to collect or use any of this data, please contact Customer Care and request that we stop collecting this data. Customer Care will deactivate your vehicle’s telematics-enabling Device (as defined below). Upon deactivation of the Device, you will no longer be able to receive any Services, including any Safety Services, you will not be able to activate any new Services, and any Subscription Service Package you had subscribed to, whether as a trial or a paid subscription, will immediately terminate.

If you sell, lease, transfer or surrender your vehicle, we will continue to collect Collected Data (as defined below), and attribute such Personal Information to you, until we are notified of such sale, lease, transfer or surrender.

We will process your Personal Information to contact you in this way and the legal basis for this processing will be our legitimate interest in marketing and advertising services that may be of interest to you. To contact you, we may use the information you provide to us, including email, direct (postal) mail, mobile number or other telephone number.

You may, at any time, inform us that you do not want MME to contact you with marketing communications or withdraw your consent to marketing communications from third parties using certain or all methods by (1) contacting Customer Care, (2) indicating your preference through the Owner Portal, or (3) managing your email and text alert notification preferences from within the Mobile App.

We will obtain your express opt-in consent before we share your Personal Information with any third party for marketing purposes.

In addition, you may also opt-out of promotional email communications from MME and third parties by clicking on a link provided in the promotional email message. You may also opt-out of promotional text message communications from MME and third parties by texting STOP from the mobile device that you have registered with MME. After opting-out, you will no longer receive marketing or promotional communications through the applicable method, but will continue to receive other messages, such as Remote Services notifications and specific information related to your use of the Services or vehicle (e.g., warranties, service reminders).

Note that deactivating your Device will not automatically opt-you out of receiving such marketing or promotional communications.

Analytics Services

We may use Google Analytics and tools from other service providers to help us understand how visitors use the Owner Portal and our other websites. Such third parties may be able to collect limited information about you, including through the use of cookies. These tools provide information about the types of users that visit the Owner Portal and help us improve the Owner Portal. For example, Google Analytics provides us with certain data regarding the demographics of the users that visit the Owner Portal. You can learn more about Google Analytics and how it collects and processes data (including how to control the information sent to Google) by visiting: http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. You may exercise choices regarding the use of cookies from Google Analytics by going to https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/ or downloading the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

YOUR OBLIGATIONS

It is your sole responsibility to tell your vehicle occupants and users about the Services and how they work, what data may be collected (e.g., collection of Vehicle Geolocation Information) and how that data may be shared, and what the limitations of the Services are (e.g., they may not work in remote areas). If you choose to activate features such as Curfew, Geofence or Speed Alerts, you have the obligation to explain that remote monitoring of the vehicle will be conducted using parameters that you set. You agree to make all vehicle occupants and users aware of this Privacy Statement and the privacy choices you have made.

If you sell, lease or otherwise transfer your vehicle directly to another person, it is your responsibility to notify such subsequent owner of the Services (including the Vehicle Data Collection and any other collection of data) and this Privacy Statement and the Terms and Conditions. In addition, prior to such transfer, you should delete all information (such as contacts and saved map addresses stored in the vehicle) from the vehicle and contact Customer Care to cancel your Account. Cancelling the Account deletes all Personal Information and resets the Device to initial settings, although some collection of Vehicle Data may continue, including information required to provide Safety Services. If you do not cancel your account, any information you do not delete may be accessible to future users of the vehicle. Please refer to your Owner’s Manual for instructions on how to delete information from your vehicle’s system.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Where necessary or desirable to carry out the data processing described in this Privacy Statement, we may transfer your Personal Information internationally, including to third party companies (designated Processors). We will require these recipients to protect your Personal Information to the same extent as ourselves, and will take appropriate measures to oversee their activities with regard to protecting the Personal Information entrusted to them.

If required to provide Services to you, we may use the services of third parties located in countries outside the European Economic Area ("EEA"), such as to provide support or technical services. While we will use reasonable efforts to minimize the international transfer of your Personal Information, these third parties may require access to some of your Personal Information. If the country in which they are located has not yet been deemed by the European Commission to offer adequate data protection, then we will take the following steps to ensure an adequate level of data protection in the country of the recipient as required under the Regulation, including imposing contractual terms approved by the European Commission that enable the transfer of personal data in countries outside the EEA, requiring that specific technical and organizational processes be followed, that we be permitted to audit their systems, processes and actions, and that they report to us about any threats to Personal Information. If you wish to obtain a copy of these safeguards, please contact us at the contact address above.

Personal Information may be transferred to the following countries outside the EEA:

  • United States of America
  • India

YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area, then you have certain rights, under certain circumstances, with respect to the Personal Information that we collect about you. These rights may include the right:

  • to request access to the Personal Information we hold about you;
  • to receive a copy of the Personal Information that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format so that you can share it with others;
  • to review your Personal Information to see if it is inaccurate or incomplete, and in such case to ask for the Personal Information to be rectified or completed;
  • to ask that your Personal Information no longer be retained;
  • to object to us processing your Personal Information by asking for the processing of that Personal Information to be restricted or stopped;
  • to ask us not to process your Personal Information for marketing purposes; and
  • where you had previously given consent to processing your Personal Information for specific purposes, then to withdraw your consent for some or all purposes. Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your information for the purpose or purposes you originally agreed to, unless we have another legitimate basis for doing so in law. Please note that the withdrawal of your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing of Personal Information based on your consent before its withdrawal.

In addition to using the Owner Portal or Mobile App to view your Personal Information, you can also exercise these rights at any time in writing by contacting us at our contact details below. We reserve the right to exchange correspondence with you in this regard. Please note that we may be required to retain some or all of your Personal Information even after a request for erasure where there is a lawful reason or obligation to do so.

You always have the right to make a complaint concerning processing of your Personal Information by contacting the relevant supervisory authority. You can do this with the data protection authorities at your place of residence, at your place of work or at the place of the alleged data breach. You can find contact details for all the EU data protection authorities at https://edpb.europa.eu/about-edpb/board/members.

UPDATES TO PRIVACY STATEMENT

From time to time, we may update this Privacy Statement. If we do, we will note near the top of this page the date that any changes are made and/or when they become effective.

If the changes are not material, we may not specifically ask for your consent, although you may contact us to update your privacy preferences as described above. Otherwise, we will understand your continued use of the Services, including access to the Owner Portal, after any such updates or notices your agreement to these changes.
