Note regarding the general data protection regulation

Siemens observes the principles of data protection, in particular the principle of data
minimization (privacy by design). For this product this means:
The product does not process / store any personal data, only technical functional data (e.g. time
stamp). If the user links this data with other data (e.g. shift plans) or stores personal data on the
same medium (e.g. hard disk) and thus establishes a personal reference, the user must ensure
compliance with data protection regulations.
