Consent to the transfer of personal data

When a driver card is inserted into a digital tachograph for the first time, the driver is asked to decide whether to consent to the transmission of their data (e.g. ITS data). This setting is stored in the tachograph.

If the driver does not agree to this, data relevant to SPEDION telematics may not be transmitted.
In order to make this data available, retroactive consent must be given for its transmission.

Transfer is required

This data is required for various functions of SPEDION telematics – for example, for automatic login to the SPEDION App.
If you disagree to the transfer of this data, important functions will not be available!

Consent must be given once per vehicle

Consent to the transfer of data is stored on the driver card.
This means:

  • If the driver has already given their consent in a vehicle, the setting will remain in place there.
  • If the driver switches to another vehicle that they have never used before, they must give their consent again for that vehicle.


Transfer ITS data

What is ITS data?
ITS data (ITS = Intelligent Transport System) contains personal information stored on the driver card.
This includes:

  • Driver's first and last name
  • Driver card number
  • Date of birth
