Approval of terms and conditions and data collection
You will see messages about different terms and conditions and data collection[1] in the centre display. Your agreement is necessary for certain apps and services to work properly.
The first time you use your car, a guide opens in the centre display to assist you to make various settings. In connection with the guide, you are prompted to give your agreement to different types of terms and conditions and collection of information. You can do this later in privacy settings as well.
You may also need to give your consent in other situations, such as when you:
- Use an app or service for the first time.
- Add a new profile.
- Delete a profile.
- Change the ownership of the car.
- Reset user data or do a factory reset.
If you decide not to accept privacy settings, you may not experience full functionality from apps and services.
Manage privacy settings
- Press the car symbol
in the bottom bar and go to Settings. - Go to Privacy.
- Select the privacy setting you want to change and follow the instructions in the centre display.

You can manage your consent to sharing data with Volvo in privacy settings.
Before using the internet
The terms of use must be accepted once per car in order to use the internet.
Car location sharing
You need to enable location sharing in your car to use certain apps and functions. For example, location sharing is required to use remote vehicle services via Volvo Assistance and for apps such as Find my car and the Trips app.[2] Map features also rely on location sharing. If you disable location sharing via the privacy settings, location sharing is also disabled for any features or apps that use it.
