This data can help provide a better understanding
of the circumstances in which crashes and
injuries occur.
Important: EDR data is recorded by your
vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation
occurs; no data is recorded by the EDR under
normal driving conditions and no personal
data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location)
is recorded. However, other parties, such as
law enforcement, could combine the EDR data
with the type of personally identifying data
routinely acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special
equipment is required, and access to the vehicle
or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle
manufacturer, other parties, such as law
enforcement, that have the special equipment,
can read the information if they have access
to the vehicle or the EDR.
Saturn will not access this data or share it with
others except: with the consent of the vehicle
owner or, if the vehicle is leased, with the consent
of the lessee; in response to an official request
of police or similar government office; as part
of Saturn’s defense of litigation through the
discovery process; or, as required by law.
Data that Saturn collects or receives may also
be used for Saturn research needs or may
be made available to others for research purposes,
where a need is shown and the data is not tied
to a specific vehicle or vehicle owner.
