Introduction Important information Furthermore, your vehicle is equipped with a number of computers whose task is to continuously control and monitor the vehicle's operation. They can also register information during normal driving conditions if they detect a fault relating to the vehicle's operation and functionality. Some of the stored information is required by technicians when carrying out service and maintenance to enable them to diagnose and rectify any faults that have occurred in the vehicle and to enable Volvo to fulfill legal and other regulatory requirements. This information may be stored in the vehicle's computers for a certain period of time. Volvo will not contribute to spreading the above-mentioned information to third parties without the consent of the vehicle's owner. However, due to national legal requirements and regulations, Volvo may be compelled to provide information of this type to authorities such as law enforcement agencies or others who may assert a legal right to obtain such information. Volvo and service and repair facilities with agreements with Volvo have access to the special technical equipment required in order to read and interpret the information stored by the vehicle's computers. Volvo is responsible for ensuring that the information transmitted to Volvo during service and maintenance is stored and handled in a secure manner and that this handling is done in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
