Note regarding the General Data Protection Regulation
Siemens observes standard data protection principles, in particular the principle of privacy by
design. That means that
this product does not process / store any personal data, only technical functional data (e.g. time
stamps). If a user links this data with other data (e.g. a shift schedule) or stores personal data
on the same storage medium (e.g. hard drive) and thus establishes a link to a person or
persons, then the user is responsible for ensuring compliance with the relevant data protection
regulations.
