Relevant data will be automatically collected by the vehicle machine and uploaded to the Internet of Vehicles platform every fixed cycle for synchronous display of your vehicle status (such as endurance, fuel consumption, power consumption curve, etc.). You can also view the energy analysis report in the App.
If your vehicle model supports the "Data Upload Switch", after turning off the switch, the energy data will only remain on the vehicle side, the App side can not display real-time energy consumption information, and the upload function will be suspended. Once restarted, the system will resume data synchronization.
The uploaded data will be stored locally on the vehicle and in the cloud for account synchronization. You can delete relevant records by canceling the account, restoring factory settings or turning off the function. Car control mobile APP
If you control your vehicle remotely via your mobile app, we may process the following information: VIN, vehicle control commands.
This information is used to execute remote operation commands such as unlocking and starting the air conditioner sent by you through the App. If your vehicle has network service enabled, instructions will be sent to the vehicle via the cloud. If the networking service is turned off, only some basic control functions under Bluetooth connection are supported.
Relevant control records will be retained for a period of time to ensure the operation of functions and troubleshooting. You can shut down the networking service or log off your account at any time, and the system will stop uploading and clear the control record.

This information will be used to determine the current vehicle software version, push the upgrade content of the adaptation, and record your upgrade preferences (such as appointment or immediate installation) to ensure that the vehicle system remains in a safe and stable state.
If your vehicle supports the "Data Upload Switch", please note:
When the switch is turned off, the system may still download the upgrade installation package in advance, but the OTA installation cannot be performed because the necessary configuration items and status information cannot be uploaded. When you click the upgrade operation, the system will give priority to prompt you to open the networking service and ask you to explicitly agree to the upgrade operation before installation.
OTA agrees that records will be retained as required by applicable law for compliance audits of the upgrade process.
If the OTA upgrade involves the update of Privacy Policy or User Agreement, the system will prompt you to read and confirm through a pop-up window after the installation is completed. You can choose to continue using the relevant services after agreeing or exit the current account.
