Aftermarket professionals in North America watching the right to repair space may take note of developments on the secure data front in Europe.

CARUSO, one of the leading platforms for personal vehicle data in Europe, announced the signing of a framework agreement with Porsche Smart Mobility GmbH.

In compliance with the European General Data Protection Regulation, customers of the platform can develop services based on Porsche Connect Partner Services, from digital logbooks to telematics insurance rates.

CARUSO is a neutral, open, and secure mobility data marketplace. The platform enables third parties to consume data standardized across multiple vehicle manufacturers.

Additionally, their built-in consent management technology ensures data privacy by giving vehicle end-users full control over data sharing.

With that, CARUSO empowers its customers to easily build life-improving solutions based on data from connected cars.

The data is made available in a standardized format via a uniform API. Thus, the data is immediately available to all CARUSO partners via the familiar interfaces.

The data marketplace enables CARUSO’s customers to access standardized vehicle data with broad coverage of the European vehicle market.

More than 50% of the networked vehicles in Europe can already be reached via CARUSO’s dataplace, says the organization.
