2.1 Crash Tracking

The SmartBlue Mobile Application uses the crash reporting tool, Crashlytics a business division of Google inc. The application is used to send our developers further information related to crashes and potentially bugs within our application.

The Services automatically collects certain information that does not personally identify End Users who access or use mobile applications that use the Services. This includes:

•           Location Information

•           Mobile Device Module information

Location Information — Location (on a country level) is collected and shared with Crashlytics to provide us with anonymous analytical information about our users and visitors. We do not track precise information related to location.

The legal basis for processing the data above is our legitimate interest (Article 6(1f) GDPR for the EU).

2.2 User Behavior Tracking

SmartBlue does not track any personal information such as username and password of field devices, any field device settings or any parameter values that have been configured. Any assets such as PDF reports, generated videos etc. are also never stored or tracked by Endress+Hauser.

2.     处理数据的类型、目的及法律依据

SmartBlue可跟踪与崩溃记录日志和用户交互相关的某些用户行为。这些信息可用作反馈信息,以便我们了解SmartBlue应用程序的使用情况以及将来如何通过其他功能或UI更改来对其进行改进。

您可以随时在SmartBlue的设置菜单中取消对用户信息的跟踪。您还将在首次运行SmartBlue应用程序时收到跟踪通知,此时您便可以选择禁用该功能。

2.1 崩溃跟踪

SmartBlue手机应用程序使用的是谷歌公司业务部门的崩溃报告工具Crashlytics。该应用程序用于向我们的开发人员发送与应用程序内的崩溃和潜在漏洞相关的更多信息。

这些服务会自动收集某些信息,但无法通过这些信息确定访问或使用这些服务的移动应用程序的最终用户之身份。这些信息包括:

•          位置信息

•          移动设备模块信息

•          确定的奔溃日志

位置信息——收集(国家层面)位置信息,并与Crashlytics共享,以向我们提供有关用户和访问者的匿名分析信息。我们并不追踪与位置相关的精确信息。

设备和崩溃日志信息——设备和使用情况信息将与Crashlytics共享,以确定电话的类型,电话的操作系统版本以及崩溃日志信息。

处理上述数据的法律依据是我们的合法权益(欧盟《通用数据保护条例》(GDPR)第6(1f)条)。


 

2.2 用户行为跟踪

SmartBlue不会跟踪任何个人信息,如现场设备的用户名和密码、任何现场设备设置或已配置的任何参数值。Endress + Hauser也永远不会存储或跟踪PDF报表、生成的视频等任何资产。

如果存在有效的互联网连接,则SmartBlue会使用谷歌的Firebase跟踪以下用户事件:

•          已登录的现场设备的类型

•          已登录的现场设备的序列号和固件编号

•          设置某些现场设备参数的次数

•          从SmartBlue跳转到Operations应用程序的次数

•          使用SmartBlue应用程序打开某个模块的次数(例如,包络曲线、创建文档等)。

•          选择一种类型向导的次数

•          演示设备被打开的次数

 

处理上述数据的法律依据是我们的合法权益(欧盟《通用数据保护条例》(GDPR)第6(1f)条)。
