JAKARTA - BYD and Chery are two of the nine automotive companies that have successfully passed a total of 43 vehicle models in the latest automotive data security assessment in China. The results of this voluntary evaluation confirm that these models have met five national data security requirements, as reported by CLS.
The assessment reflects China's efforts to manage the connected vehicle ecosystem while protecting the increasing amount of personal data generated by modern vehicle technology. The requirements include anonymization of exterior facial data, processing of in-vehicle cabin data, no default collection of cabin data, clear notification of personal information, to data precision range settings.
In addition to BYD and Chery, other companies that meet the five criteria include Changan, SAIC Group, Beijing New Energy Automobile Company (NEV division of BAIC), GAC Aion, GAC Trumpchi, Changan Ford, and SGMW. As reported by Carnewschina, Friday, December 19.
However, this report does not detail the vehicle models, years of production, or sales volumes involved in the assessment. In some cases, certain models do not meet the requirements for the anonymization of exterior facial data.
Even so, the model is still considered to comply with the other four criteria. The technical compliance benchmark itself refers to the national standard GB/T 41871-2022, which sets out detailed guidelines on the collection, transmission, and processing of motor vehicle data.
Through this standard, the Chinese government emphasizes the importance of transparency in data management, personal information security, and restrictions on the distribution of sensitive data to outside parties. This evaluation step marks the strengthening of automotive data security regulations in China, as the use of smart vehicle technology that requires access and management of large amounts of data increases.
