Visual Handling of Data.

Handling of data.

At Mercedes-Benz, responsible handling of data is of great importance. We are committed to a sustainable, transparent, and ethically correct handling of data – and thus earn and maintain the digital trust of our users.

The mobility of the future will be largely defined by digital products and services. Assistance systems for automated driving, safety systems and digital services are based on large volumes of data that are collected, processed and analysed. Responsible handling of data is therefore crucial in order to build long-term trust. Transparency in the use of data enables our stakeholders to make informed decisions. The trust of our stakeholders, especially of our employees and customers, in our responsible handling of data and in our digital products and services is crucial for us. Our commitment to the responsible handling of data is a key pillar of the Digital Trust focus area.
