Safety and security
Our systems are protected by technical and organizational security measures to prevent loss, manipulation, destruction or access to your personal data by unauthorized persons. Despite the use of the industry standard SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) to encrypt the data transmitted between you and our website, complete protection against all incidents is not possible.


Use of the software
We do not collect any personal data when using the software.

The IP addresses of mobile devices that connect to the MixedReality service are logged in a log file on the connected controller up to version 1.0.2 of the associated technology package. A direct or indirect personal reference cannot be completely excluded.

In case this log file is actively transmitted to KUKA by you or your company, this data will be processed by KUKA as part of the underlying order. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest).


Disclosure of personal data
No personal data will be transmitted to third parties without your express consent. A transfer to public authorities, law enforcement authorities and courts only takes place within the scope of a legal obligation. In addition, our employees are bound to secrecy and the confidential handling of your personal data.

In this context, the companies affiliated with KUKA AG within the KUKA Group as well as service providers contractually bound to us for order data processing are not considered third parties.


Your rights
You have the following rights against us regarding your personal data:

- Right to information,
- Right to rectification or cancellation,
- Right to limit the processing,
- Right to object to the processing,
- Right to data transferability.

To assert these rights, you can contact our Data Protection Officer at data-privacy@kuka.com free of charge.

Deletion periods
We delete all personal data as soon as they are no longer required for the purpose for which they were collected or you have exercised your right to deletion.
If there are no legal storage obligations or one of the other exceptions from Art. 17 GPPR exists, we will delete the data concerned as quickly as possible.
