By registering on the CODESYS Forge website, the IP address - assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the visitor - date, and time of the registration are also stored. The storage of this data takes place against the background that this is the only way to prevent the misuse of our services, and, if necessary, to make it possible to investigate committed offenses. This data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a statutory obligation to pass on the data, or if the transfer serves the aim of criminal prosecution.
The registration of the data subject, with the voluntary indication of personal data, is intended to enable 3S-Smart Software Solutions GmbH to offer the data subject contents or services that may only be offered to registered users due to the nature of the matter in question. Registered persons are free to change the personal data specified during the registration at any time, or to disable their account. If they want to have their account deleted completely, they have to contact 3S-Smart Software Solutions GmbH.
