If you issue a corresponding command to lock or unlock the vehicle via My Porsche, this will be transmitted together with your Porsche ID to our system and from there to your vehicle.

To be able to assign the command to your vehicle, the wireless interface for vehicle-related services of your vehicle transmits the vehicle identification number of your vehicle to our system.

To be able to display information about the status of the command execution, your vehicle then transmits a status message. The information transmitted by your vehicle will be stored in our system for display purposes. The information is displayed in your My Porsche.

As a database for creating anonymized usage statistics, we store every service call by your vehicle or your customer interface together with your vehicle identification number and a time stamp for a period of 12 months.

Deactivation does not include data transmission for certain emergency services. By activating the private mode or, alternatively, by disabling the remote access in the system settings of the PCM of your vehicle, you also prevent access to information in your vehicle via My Porsche. As a result, the functionality of the service may be restricted or may no longer be available.
