Event Data Recorders
This vehicle is equipped with an
event data recorder (EDR). The
main purpose of an EDR is to
record, in certain crash or near
crash-like situations, such as an air
bag deployment or hitting a road
obstacle, data that will assist in
understanding how a vehicle’s
systems performed. The EDR is
designed to record data related to
vehicle dynamics and safety
systems for a short period of time,
typically 30 seconds or less. The
EDR in this vehicle is designed to
record such data as:
.How various systems in your
vehicle were operating;
. Whether or not the driver and
passenger safety belts were
buckled/fastened;
. How far (if at all) the driver was
depressing the accelerator and/
or brake pedal; and,
. How fast the vehicle was
traveling. These data can help provide a
better understanding of the
circumstances in which crashes and
injuries occur.
Note
EDR data are recorded by your
vehicle only if a non-trivial crash
situation occurs; no data are
recorded by the EDR under normal
driving conditions and no personal
data (e.g., name, gender, age, and
crash location) are 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.
GM will not access these 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 by police or
similar government office; as part of
GM's defense of litigation through
the discovery process; or, as
required by law. Data that GM
collects or receives may also be
used for GM 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.
OnStar®
If the vehicle is equipped with
OnStar®and has an active
subscription, additional data may be
collected through the OnStar
system. This includes information
about the vehicle’s operation;
collisions involving the vehicle; the
use of the vehicle and its features;
and, in certain situations, the
location and approximate GPS
speed of the vehicle. Refer to the

Buick Encore Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/Mexico-

OnStar services.
We may also collect information
from your vehicle including: your
Vehicle identification number (VIN):
the make, model and year of your
vehicle; the Vehicle license plate
number; information about your
selling or preferred GM distributor;
information about the operation of
the vehicle (including diagnostic
trouble codes, oil life remaining, tire
pressure, fuel economy and
odometer readings); information
about collisions involving the
vehicle, the direction from which it
was hit, which airbags have
deployed and safety belt usage;
information about the use of the
vehicle and its features, such as
whether a mobile device has been
paired with your vehicle; and in
limited circumstances, the
geographical location and
approximate GPS (global
positioning satellite) speed of the
vehicle.Your personal and vehicle data will
be treated for the following
purposes: (i) to provide you with
services you have requested
(automatic accident response,
remote and emergency services,
assistance if your vehicle is stolen,
step-by-step directions); (ii) to keep
our records up to date so that we
are able to answer your inquiries;
(iii) for troubleshooting and research
purposes; (iv) to protect the safety
of you or others; (v) to prevent fraud
or misuse of the OnStar service; (vi)

authorities; (vii) to carry out
marketing and general promotional
activities; (viii) to allow OnStar,
General Motors de México, S. de
R.L. de C.V., General Motors LLC
and all subsidiaries, affiliates or any
company of the same corporate
group to which OnStar belongs, to
carry out advertising activities
(offering you products, services and
information); and (ix) for business
prospecting and statistical market
analysis.
It is important to mention that
purposes (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) and
(vi), give rise to and are necessary
to maintain our legal relationship.
On the other hand, purposes (vii),
(viii) and (ix), do not give rise to and
