Navigation & Infotainment Package

The "Navigation Plus" service enables you to use your Porsche Connect App or your vehicle's mobile phone connection to

• retrieve current or forecast navigation and traffic information along your route based on your previous destinations and routes (Navigation),

• use real-time traffic information to display the current traffic situation on your route (Real-Time Traffic), and

• update your navigation map incrementally on the basis of your current location and active route guidance (Online Map Update).

In addition, you can also use the "Navigation" sub-function seamlessly across all output devices. For the "Navigation" sub-function, you can select, enter and save destinations and routes in the Porsche Connect App and in your vehicle's PCM (Porsche Communication Management, the central control unit for audio, navigation and communication).

When you select the service in your vehicle, PCM initially registers with our system using the vehicle identification number.

If you select the service via the Porsche Connect App, you register with your Porsche ID.

We require this information in order to assign your vehicle to your user account and to allow us to check that you are entitled to use the service.

After the connection has been established, we will determine the information you requested, depending on the sub-function;

• for "Navigation" sub-function, the current location, the current speed, the current direction of travel and, where applicable, active or forecast navigation destinations and the associated route guidance,

• for "Real-Time Traffic" sub-function, the current location, the current speed and the current direction of travel.

The aforementioned data may contain sensitive personal data, e.g. your location data. We must process such sensitive personal data in order to provide you with the Navigation Plus service.

The data transmitted is used to determine the information you have requested. The information is then assigned to your vehicle by our system and transferred to your vehicle's PCM. Your data will be stored for the duration of the query for this purpose and will then be deleted.

If you use the Porsche Connect App for the request, the location of your device will be used instead of your vehicle location and the search results will be transferred to the Porsche Connect App.

For the "Online Map Update" sub-function, the servers of the third-party service providers establish the map version currently used by your navigation system and the region to be updated, and check whether any new map material is available. If new map material is available this is incrementally transmitted directly from the external service provider servers to your navigation system.

In addition, the aforementioned information transmitted from your vehicle to the service provider without any personal information can be used to improve the service or contribute to the services database.

We use service providers commissioned by Porsche to provide the sub-functions of Navigation Plus. Please note that the servers of the third-party service providers on which data is processed in the course of the service are located within China. You consent to our transmission of your information to our service provider (AutoNavi Software Co., Ltd.) for purposes of providing you with the Navigation Plus service. If you do not consent to the transmission of such information, you should not use the Navigation Plus service.

You always have the option of deactivating the service in the system settings of your PCM. There is also the option of deactivating the service as part of the whole "Services without geolocation" service group. However, the functionality of the service may be limited or eliminated by performing a general deactivation in the system settings.

Using the "Voice Pilot" service, you can make voice inputs or have them converted into text via the mobile network connection in your vehicle and thus control services and apps as well as search for and enter destinations by voice dialogue, among other things. Through use of position information, voice inputs relating to destinations can be checked for plausibility by the system and the quality of the voice input improved. You can also have news and other information read out by the function.

When you select the service in the vehicle, your vehicle's PCM (Porsche Communication Management, the central control unit for audio, navigation and communication services) initially logs into our system using the vehicle identification number.

In order to establish a connection between your vehicle and the service provider commissioned by Porsche, a time-limited authentication key is exchanged between our systems and the PCM of your vehicle.

We require this information in order to assign your vehicle to your user account and to allow us to check that you are entitled to use the service. The legal basis for this is the fulfilment of a contract concluded with you.

In addition, we also use this information together with the time at which the service was accessed (timestamp) for the purpose of creating a database for anonymised usage statistics. We store the information for a period of 12 months for this purpose.

In order to permit voice input, an audio file is transmitted after a connection has been set up from the PCM of your vehicle directly to the corresponding service providers together with the selected language, where applicable the selected service and the current version information. Using the transmitted data, the service provider commissioned by Porsche creates text files and semantically interprets these, if applicable. The results are then transmitted back to the PCM of your vehicle. In the case of voice control of destination inputs, the search terms that have been converted into text and the vehicle position are exchanged with navigation and search service providers for determination of route and destination information. The legal basis for this is the fulfilment of a contract concluded with you.

The current position of your vehicle is transmitted in order to check the plausibility of voice input of destinations and thus improve the quality of voice input. For the avoidance of doubt, we will not collect your vehicle's tracks, but only the instant location information. To enable your request to be assigned, an authentication key is also exchanged with the servers of the service providers.

In order to continuously improve voice conversion and semantic interpretation, the data transmitted to the service provider as well as the results determined by the service provider commissioned by Porsche are stored for a period of 90 day and evaluated in anonymised form. The legal basis for this is your consent.

We use third-party service providers commissioned by Porsche to execute and provide the service. Please note that the servers of the service providers on which data is processed in the course of the service are located within China. You acknowledge and consent to our transmission of your information to our service provider for purposes of providing you with the Voice Pilot service. If you do not consent to the transmission of such information, you should not use the Voice Pilot service.

You always have the option of deactivating the service in the system settings of the PCM in your vehicle. There is also the option of deactivating the service as part of the whole "Services with geolocation" service group. However, the functionality of the service may be limited or no longer available after performing general deactivation in the system settings.
