About Data Protection
When your appliance is connected for the first time to a
WLAN network, which is connected to the Internet, your
appliance transmits the following categories of data to the
Home Connect™ server (initial registration):
•
Unique appliance identification (consisting of appliance
codes as well as the MAC address of the installed Wi-Fi
communication module).
•
Security certificate of the Wi-Fi communication module
(to ensure a secure IT connection).
•
The current software and hardware version of your
domestic appliance.
•
Status of any previous resetting to factory settings.
This initial registration prepares the Home Connect™
functions for use and is only required when you want to use
these Home Connect™ functions for the first time.
NOTE: Ensure that the Home Connect™ functions can be
used only in conjunction with the Home Connect™ app.
Information on data protection can be accessed in the
Home Connect™ app.
