HUAWEI TEST VEHICLE DATA COLLECTION PRIVACY NOTICE

Huawei Technologies Switzerland AG (Huawei, we, us or our) is conducting an automotive sensor research in our office located at Thurgauerstrasse 40, 8050 Zurich, Switzerland. To that end, we have designed a test vehicle that is equipped with various sensors including cameras. It is possible that we capture images and video of you or your vehicle when our test vehicle passes by you in public road. Please be assured that we are not interested in identifying you as an individual. In this privacy notice, we explain what data we collect and operate with our test vehicle.

1. General principles of privacy rights

Huawei has taken comprehensive measures to comply with the Swiss federal act on data protection (FADP), including more general European Global Protection Regulation (GDPR), and to respect the rights of data subjects. When we develop the test vehicle and the data management infrastructure, we uphold the principles of security by design, which guarantee that any personal information is protected at all stages of data collection before our test vehicle hits the road and provide transparency on how it is handled. Huawei has developed policies, procedures, and tools, as well as an extensive training and awareness program for the employees.

Huawei acts as a data controller of personal data for the data collected with our test vehicle. Our data collection activities are limited to Switzerland, and focused in the area of Zurich.

2. What personal data we collect and how we use it

Huawei conducts research in the area of autonomous driving. We collect data in on the public road using our test vehicle. Among these data, the test vehicle will capture images of the surroundings, and record the vehicle's GPS position. We use the collected data to develop algorithms for autonomous driving. These algorithms are used only within a research context. We have no intention to identify any individuals.

Huawei has taken measures to manage the collection, transfer, and use of personal data in a safe manner. These measures include IT infrastructure, data-handling processes and staff training. Wherever possible, we apply data anonymization, i.e., we remove personal information from images and videos by blurring out faces and license plates before analyzing them. We only collect data which is directly required for the research activities listed above. Access to the data is restricted to a small number of people in the Huawei Zurich office.

3. Legal basis for processing your personal data

As described in the previous section, data anonymization is applied to the collected images and videos, wherever possible. Nevertheless, not all the collected data can be anonymized without adversely affecting our research activities. Therefore, we will rely on the legal basis of pursuing our legitimate interests to develop and provide automotive safety products that have world class performance and reliability in real-life driving environments.

4. How long your personal data is stored

We keep the collected data in a secure environment for the time necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected but no longer than 3 years from collection date.

5. Your rights in relation to collection of personal data

Our test vehicle is equipped with stickers to notify data subjects that their images might be captured by the test vehicle. The stickers also provide QR code on how to access this privacy notice issued by Huawei, as well as more information about the purpose of the data collection and how the data is processed.

According to GDPR, you as a data subjects have the right to request the following:
