Startdrive - Siemens SINAMICS S120 Getting Started

For the SINAMICS Startdrive product – including the installed SINAMICS DCC option
package – this means the following:
The product only sends personal data to SIEMENS AG if the user explicitly requests this.
This occurs in the following cases:
● If the SINAMICS Startdrive program and the SINAMICS DCC option package end
unexpectedly, then the user is given the opportunity to send diagnostics information to
SIEMENS AG for analysis. If the user avails themselves of this option, then their email
address will be collected, transmitted and saved so that they can be contacted in the
event of queries.
● The Totally Integrated Automation UPDATER enables the user to check whether updates
are available for SINAMICS Startdrive and the SINAMICS DCC option package and to
install them. The user can manually check for available updates or activate the
corresponding setting in the TIA UPDATER for automatic updating. If the TIA Automation
Update Server is used for verification or installation purposes, the IP address of the
device used will be transmitted for technical reasons.
Beyond the previously mentioned information, the product only saves personal data in the
project. The user is therefore responsible for ensuring compliance with the statutory data
protection provisions. This applies in particular to the transfer of projects.
The following data must be taken into account.
● Windows login
In the standard configuration, the product saves the login details of the Windows user
together with technical function data (e.g. time stamp) in the project. The specified data is
saved in order to trace changes in large configurations.
For SINAMICS Startdrive and the SINAMICS DCC option package, reference to specific
persons can be established via the project and all elements contained within it (e.g.
devices and diagrams).
The specified data can be viewed in the properties of the project and the elements in
SINAMICS Startdrive and the SINAMICS DCC option package ("Author" property) and,
with the exception of the most recent change to the project, subsequently modified.
● Usernames in the user administration
The product only processes and saves additional personal data when the user explicitly
enables one of the following functions.
Usernames created by the user are saved by the user administration (security settings) to
be able to verify them during subsequent authentication.
● Login for multi-user engineering
For multi-user engineering, various technical function data (e.g. time stamp) are saved
together with the login of the Windows user concerned in order to be able to trace project
changes.
For the three previously mentioned points, the details relating to the specified functions must
be observed in the relevant chapter in the information system of SINAMICS Startdrive and
the SINAMICS DCC option package.
By generating the login or username, personal data can be pseudonymized for the functions.
Deleting the project will cause all personal data saved within it to be deleted too. The
particularities of multi-user engineering should be taken into consideration here (e.g. that the
