Chat content is logged when using Microsoft Teams. Files that users share in chats are stored in the OneDrive for Business account of the user who shared the file. The files that team members share in a channel are stored on the team's SharePoint site.

3. Microsoft Teams service

Microsoft Teams is a product from the Microsoft Office 365 product suite. Through the video conferencing feature of Microsoft Teams, we can offer you participation via video and audio in our meetings and online events. We do not record the Microsoft Teams online events and meetings unless we have obtained their consent in advance.

The people who can see your audio and video input depends on the team modes we use:

Live events:
During live events, we do not allow sound or video recordings of participants in order to maintain anonymity.

Team Meetings:
In team meetings, all participants can set their own audio and video inputs. Unauthorized processing by other participants, e.g. by recording the meeting, cannot be definitively excluded or prevented by us.

In this case, such access may also be granted by Microsoft affiliates from outside the European Union. We have entered into standard contractual clauses with Microsoft solely for this case of access from outside the European Union in individual cases approved by us.

If you need information about Microsoft's processing, we encourage you to review the relevant Microsoft statement: privacy.microsoft.com/de-de/privacystatement.

We carry out the data processing under items 2 and 3. on the basis of a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR.

If you no longer agree to the storage of your personal data or if this data has become incorrect, we will arrange for the deletion or blocking of your data or make the necessary corrections (insofar as this is possible under the applicable law) in response to a corresponding instruction. The same applies if we are only to process data in a restrictive manner in the future.

You can revoke consents granted at any time with effect for the future. Your revocation does not affect the lawfulness of the processing until the time of revocation.
