secure. Siemens strongly recommends that product updates are applied as soon as they are
available and that the latest product versions are used. Use of product versions that are no
longer supported, and failure to apply the latest updates may increase customers' exposure to
cyber threats.

Data protection
Siemens observes the data protection guidelines, especially the requirements regarding data
minimization (privacy by design). This means the following for this SIMATIC product: The
product does not process / save any personal information, but only technical functional data
(e.g. time stamps). If the user links this data to other data (e.g. shift plans) or if the user saves
personal information on the same medium (e.g. hard disk) and therefore creates a personal
reference in the process, the user has to ensure meeting the guidelines regarding data
protection.
