License Activation Reports (Misuse Detection)
When you activate a purchased license in the "Simple Locale for IP-Symcon" software, it sends us a cryptographic hash of the license key, an identifier provided by IP-Symcon (typically the email address registered with your IP-Symcon account), and the time of activation. The sole purpose is detecting unauthorized sharing or resale of a license key (the same key appearing with multiple different identifiers). Legal basis is our legitimate interest in enforcing our license terms (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
