Product Excellence Program

The Product Excellence Program is used to collect data which will be sent in a secure and encrypted way to Siemens for analysis. By examining usage patterns from a large number of people, we gain insight into how the products are used and how to improve our Offerings for future releases. Data collection occurs in the background as the Offering is being used and does not affect performance or functionality.

The data collected can vary by software Offering and by release. Siemens may collect the following data:

• Pseudonymized User ID
• Installation information
• The features you use, and how you use them (Feature adoption)
• The operating environment (e.g.: OS, RAM, graphics, etc.)
• The product version
• Other indications of user interaction
• Company name
• Country Distribution

There is no contact information in the data and Siemens will not contact you by phone or email as a result of the data collected. Absolutely no information about the data you create or manage with our Offerings is collected.

You have the right to revoke consent that allows Siemens to collect data under the Product Excellence Program at any time with effect for the future by selecting “DECLINE” on the Data Privacy tab, which can be typically found in the settings or preference menu of the Offerings.

To the extent data consists of or contains personal data, e.g.: hashed user ID, the Siemens Data Privacy Notice applies to our processing of this data.
