Siemens' products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more 
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.

2.3  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. 
2.4  Disclaimer for third-party software updates 
This product includes third-party software. Siemens AG only provides a warranty for 
updates/patches of the third-party software, if these have been distributed as part of a 
Siemens software update service contract or officially released by Siemens AG. Otherwise, 
updates/patches are undertaken at your own risk. You can find more information about our
