A method for controlling a vehicle, the method comprising:

• providing a plurality of functions related to traveling of the vehicle;
• and
• managing agreement information about whether a driver of the vehicle agrees to the vehicle using specific personal information acquired by a sensor of the vehicle, wherein
• the number of functions executable in a case where the driver does not agree to use of the specific personal information out of the plurality of functions is smaller than the number of functions executable in a case where the driver agrees to the use of the specific personal information out of the plurality of functions, and
• the specific personal information includes camera information acquired by a camera mounted on the vehicle and position information of the vehicle acquired by a positioning sensor mounted on the vehicle,
• the method further comprises allowing the driver to respectively select whether to agree to the use of the camera information and whether to agree to the use of the position information, wherein
• the plurality of functions includes:
• a first function to be executable in a case where the driver agrees to the use of the camera information and the use of the position information:
• a second function to be executable in a case where the driver agrees to the use of the camera information, regardless of whether the driver agrees to the use of the position information;
• and
• a third function to be executable in a case where the driver agrees to the use of the position information, regardless of whether the driver agrees to the use of the camera information.

A control device for controlling a vehicle, the control device comprising:

• a travel control unit configured to provide a plurality of functions related to traveling of the vehicle;
• and
• a management unit configured to manage agreement information about whether a driver of the vehicle agrees to the vehicle using specific personal information acquired by a sensor of the vehicle, wherein
• the travel control unit suppresses performing a function of the plurality of functions that requires use of the specific personal information that the driver does not agree to use to provide the function, by suppressing enabling the function,
• the specific personal information includes camera information acquired by a camera mounted on the vehicle and position information of the vehicle acquired by a positioning sensor mounted on the vehicle,
• the management unit allows the driver to respectively select whether to agree to the use of the camera information and whether to agree to the use of the position information, and
• the plurality of functions includes:
• a first function to be executable in a case where the driver agrees to the use of the camera information and the use of the position information;
• a second function to be executable in a case where the driver agrees to the use of the camera information, regardless of whether the driver agrees to the use of the position information;
• and
• a third function to be executable in a case where the driver agrees to the use of the position information, regardless of whether the driver agrees to the use of the camera information.
