Last update: 21 September 2022
The Nissan Connect Door to Door Navigation app (the “App”), published by Nissan Motor Co., Ltd (“Nissan” or “we”), is a GPS navigation app that guides you “door to door” from one destination to the next, and back to your Nissan vehicle again.
In particular, the App provides you with the following features:
• Find My Car: when your device is connected to the navigation system of your Nissan vehicle, the App receives the current location of your Nissan vehicle. When you leave your Nissan vehicle, you receive a notification on your device and your Nissan vehicle’s location will be shown on the map in order to find it later;
• Final Destination Navigation: when your device is connected to the navigation system of your Nissan vehicle, the App receives the current location of your Nissan vehicle (the address where you parked) and it will be shown on the map. A walking route will be available to get you to your final destination if you are within 5 kilometers (3 miles) from the final destination. If you are located further than 5 kilometers (3 miles) away from your final destination, a walking route will not be automatically generated; and
• Send a destination to your Nissan vehicle: use the App to find a destination and send it to your Nissan vehicle.
When accessing, browsing and using the App and the associated services, you provide Nissan with your personal data. As publisher, Nissan acts as the data controller of your personal data and processes such data with the assistance of TomTom as data processor.
Please read this privacy policy carefully as it explains how Nissan uses your personal data and how you can exercise your rights about it. This privacy policy supplements the Terms and Conditions of the App and any documents or notices that may refer to this privacy policy.
Should you have any questions related to privacy, you may directly contact the Data Protection Contact Point of Nissan by sending to nml_globaldataprivacyoffice@mail.nissan.co.jp

• you can request the rectification of your personal data in order to obtain the modification of your personal data if it is obsolete, inaccurate or incomplete.
• you can object to the processing of your personal data when the processing is based on Nissan’s legitimate interest. Nissan will no longer process your personal data unless Nissan demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms such as the respect of a legal obligation (e.g. legal obligation involving the retention of documents), or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
• except if you are based in Switzerland, you can request the restriction of the processing during a limited period of time, in particular in order to carry out some verifications,where one of the following applies:
➢ you contest the accuracy of your personal data, the processing of which is thus restricted for the period necessary for Nissan to verify the accuracy of such personal data;
➢ the processing is unlawful and, rather than requesting its deletion, you prefer to restrict its use;
➢ Nissan no longer needs your personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you need them for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims;

• you can withdraw your consent at any time, without this withdrawal affecting the lawfulness of the processing operations previously carried out.
• except if you are based in Switzerland, you can ask to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine readable format and also can request their transmission to another data controller where technically feasible. This right is not exercisable in all circumstances. The right applies only if it fulfils all the following conditions:
➢ your request is only related to your personal data (excluding anonymous or third-party data);
➢ your request does not adversely affect the rights or freedoms of others, in particular those of Nissan (e.g.,trade secrets) or those of third parties(e.g., intellectual property);
➢ the processing is carried out by automated means (paper files are therefore not included);
➢ the processing is based on consent or the performance of a contract.
• you can request the deletion of your personal data (also known as the right to be forgotten), where one of the following legal grounds applies:
➢ you object to the processing of your personal data and there are no overriding legitimate reasons justifying the processing of your personal data (e.g., legal obligation involving the retention of documents);
➢ you decide to withdraw your consent on which the processing is based;

Under certain circumstances, Nissan may ask you for specific information in order to confirm your identity and ensure the exercise of your rights. This is another appropriate security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to an individual who does not have the right to receive it.
If you have any questions related to privacy or wish to exercise your rights, you may directly contact the Data Protection Contact Point of Nissan by sending an email to NML_Globaldataprivacyoffice@mail.nissan.co.jp.
If you wish, you may also lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority.
