Ubiqservice holds a deep respect for your privacy and is fully committed to safeguarding it. This ADAS Vehicle Public Filming Data Privacy Notice ("Notice") aims to provide you with information on how we handle your personal data in our capacity as a data controller under applicable data privacy laws. This processing occurs when we record live video footage, images, and signals through [Vehicle Type] owned by [Customer Name], to enhance our Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) and improve the safety features of our vehicles to promote road safety. In this document, the terms "we," "us," or "our" refer to the Ubiqservice entity responsible for collecting and utilizing personal data obtained via the vehicle's cameras. For additional details, please refer to the "Contact Us" section below.
Ubiqservice firmly believes in a more responsible approach to exploring the world, including our commitment to enhancing road safety for all road users. As part of our mission to develop features that improve pedestrian and road safety, our vehicles may collect your personal data. As we will elaborate further below, Ubiqservice test vehicles are equipped with cameras that capture road markings, signage, and other public elements and areas visible from or accessible by the vehicles. We may utilize this footage to enhance our vehicles' capabilities for ADAS-related features and improve safety features, contributing to enhanced road safety.
In the case of specific test vehicles, we might gather and process sensor data, vehicle location information, and external video and camera imagery from external vehicle cameras. Below, we provide a more detailed overview of each of these data types.
Location Data: We may collect and process location data, such as GPS coordinates, to determine the vehicle's precise location. This data is instrumental in supporting our various features.
External Vehicle Cameras: Our external cameras are employed to capture video footage and images of the vehicle's surrounding environment. This information is crucial for ensuring the safe operation of our features and for enhancing our existing ADAS algorithms and image recognition (AI). This includes the recognition of road markings, signage, and other visual elements. Additionally, our cameras may capture the location, video footage, and images of individuals in proximity to the vehicles. Moreover, the cameras may record license plates of other vehicles or other publicly visible personal details. It is important to note that we do not make any attempts to link external video and camera data with identifiable individuals or vehicles, except when compelled to do so by law or for the purposes of a collision investigation.
We gather and process the data detailed in Section 2 for the following objectives:
The processing of the data outlined in Section 2 is necessary for pursuing the legitimate interests of Ubiqservice. In line with Art. 6(1)(f) of the European Union General Data Protection Regulation, we have undertaken an evaluation to ensure that the processing is proportionate and does not unduly infringe upon the rights and interests of individuals captured, including children.
We may transfer your personal data to or store it in European countries, including countries that may not have data protection laws equivalent to those in your country of residence or the location where your personal data is gathered. This transfer is conducted for the purposes outlined earlier. For example, we might share the captured footage with Ubiqservice teams and third parties we've contracted with to assist in annotating and analyzing the images for the mentioned processing tasks.
In cases of data transfers from European Economic Area ("EEA") Member States or the UK to countries that have received an adequacy decision from the European Union ("EU") Commission or the United Kingdom ("UK") Information Commissioner’s Office, confirming that their data protection standards are on par with those of the EU or UK, we can rely on these adequacy decisions. This particularly applies to data transfers between the UK and EEA Member States.
For data transfers from the EEA or UK to countries lacking an adequacy decision, Ubiqservice has established appropriate safeguards to ensure the necessary level of data protection. This is primarily achieved through the implementation of suitable data transfer arrangements based on approved standard contractual clauses.
To safeguard the rights and freedoms of individuals, we employ the following measures during the aforementioned processing activities and subsequently erase the footage when it is no longer required. The majority of video footage and related images will be deleted within six months of collection. A small portion of video and images may be retained for a longer duration only as necessary for enhancing object detection algorithms.
We have instituted appropriate technical and organizational safeguards to secure the collected data against loss, tampering, unauthorized access, disclosure, as well as accidental or unlawful destruction.
Before being transferred to the cloud, the video footage is temporarily stored on encrypted data storage drives. Access to this data is restricted to authorized Ubiqservice personnel and trusted third parties involved in the annotation and analysis, as mentioned earlier.
Depending on your location and the applicable laws and regulations, you may possess data privacy rights concerning Ubiqservice's handling of your personal data. In accordance with the legal requirements specific to your jurisdiction, and subject to any legal restrictions or exceptions, you may enjoy the following rights:
