Usage of further third-party tools

We use the "Zoom" tool to hold telephone conferences, online meetings, video conferences and / or webinars (hereinafter: "Online Meetings"). "Zoom" is a service provided by Zoom Video Communications, Inc., which is based in the United States. Note: If you access the "Zoom" website, the provider of "Zoom" is responsible for the data processing. Calling up the website is only required to use "Zoom" in order to download the software for using "Zoom".

You can also use "Zoom" if you enter the respective meeting ID and any other access data for the meeting directly in the "Zoom" app.

If you do not want to or cannot use the "Zoom" app, the basic functions can also be used via a browser version, which you can also find on the "Zoom" website.

Which data are processed?

When using "Zoom" different types of data are processed. The scope of the data also depends on the information you provide about data before or when participating in an "online meeting".

The following personal data are processed:

User information: first name, last name, telephone (optional), email address, password (if "single sign-on" is not used), profile picture (optional), department (optional)

Meeting metadata:

Topic, description (optional), participant IP addresses, device / hardware information.

For recordings (optional): MP4 file of all video, audio and presentation recordings, M4A file of all audio recordings, text file of the online meeting chat.

When dialing in with the phone: information on the incoming and outgoing phone number, country name, start and end time. If necessary, further connection data such as the IP address of the device can be saved.

Text, audio and video data: You may have the option of using the chat, question or survey functions in an "online meeting". In this respect, the text entries you make are processed in order to display them in the "online meeting" and, if necessary, to record them. In order to enable the display of video and the playback of audio, the data from the microphone of your terminal device and any video camera on the terminal device are processed accordingly for the duration of the meeting. You can switch off or mute the camera or microphone yourself at any time using the "Zoom" applications.

In order to take part in an “online meeting” or to enter the “meeting room”, you must at least provide information about your name.

Scope of processing

We use “Zoom” to conduct “online meetings”. If we want to record "online meetings", we will inform you transparently in advance and - if necessary - ask for your consent. The fact of the recording is also displayed in the "Zoom" app.

If necessary for the purpose of logging the results of an online meeting, we will log the chat content. However, this will usually not be the case.

In the case of webinars, we can also process the questions asked by webinar participants for the purpose of recording and following up webinars.

In these cases, we are interested in the effective implementation of "online meetings".

Other forms of data processing: sending a newsletter

We may process your data in order to send you a newsletter. A newsletter is an electronic circular that appears regularly. At the beginning, you provide us with the data that we request to register for the newsletter. After carrying out the double opt-in procedure, we will use your data to address you for advertising by means of a newsletter.

We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to obtain consent. This means that after you have registered, we will send you an email to the email address provided, asking you to confirm your consent. If you do not confirm your registration within 24 hours, your information will be blocked and automatically deleted after one month. In addition, we save the IP addresses you use and the times of registration and confirmation. The purpose of the procedure is to be able to prove your registration and, if necessary, to clarify any possible misuse of your personal data. The legal basis for this processing is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 lit.

The legal obligation to which we are subject follows from Article 7 Paragraph 1 GDPR and Article 5 Paragraph 1 GDPR.

We save the data as long as this is necessary for verification purposes.

Cases are conceivable in which we make the provision of a free service and / or a free product dependent on the granting of consent. In this context, we take the voluntary requirement stipulated in Article 7 Paragraph 4 GDPR and Article 4 Section 11 GDPR very seriously. In this regard, we clarify: By making the provision of our free service available to you giving the consent described above, we use the option, according to our legal opinion, to make the associated data processing part of the contract ourselves; and not only to fulfill it, but by exchanging your consent to data processing in return for providing a free service. On closer inspection, your consent is part of the contract, which otherwise could not come about or only come about for a fee. Our free service is "paid for" with the personal data or exchanged for it. Since your consent is of central importance to us, the provision of the data for the above-mentioned purposes is the price for our service. You have the option to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future; You can do this by informing us, for example to one of the above-mentioned contact channels (“general part” / person responsible) or by clicking the unsubscribe link at the end of our e-mails.
