Beyond that, external parties receive your data without exception only if they have been contractually bound by us to their obligations as a processor (Art. 28 GDPR) and guarantee that they process your data in accordance with our instructions, or to bodies or persons to whom you have given us your consent to transfer data.

In addition, we are subject to various retention and documentation obligations, which arise, among other things, from the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch) as well as from tax law provisions (Fiscal Code, Abgabenordnung, AO).

3. What data do we process and where does it come from?

In this respect, the text entries you make are processed in order to display them in the "live event" and, if applicable, to log them. To enable the display of video and the playback of audio, the data from your device's microphone and from any video camera on your device is processed accordingly for the duration of the meeting. You can switch off or mute the camera or microphone yourself at any time;

If we intend to record "live events", we will inform you of this transparently in advance and ask for your consent. The fact that a recording is taking place will also be displayed to you in the Live Events app.

If a recording takes place, the following personal data is processed:

• MP4 file of all video, audio and presentation recordings, M4A file of all audio recordings, text file of the "live events meeting chat".

If it is necessary for the purposes of logging the results of a "live event", we will log the chat content. However, this will generally not be the case.

Vis-a-vis customers and prospective customers, the legal basis for the data processing in connection with the conduct of "live events" is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, provided that the meetings are conducted within the framework of contractual relationships or, at the request of the prospective customer, for the performance of pre-contractual measures.

The provider of Teams (Microsoft Corporation) necessarily gains knowledge of the aforementioned data, to the extent that this is provided for within the framework of our contractual relationship with Microsoft.

6. Do we transfer data to third countries?

Within the scope of using Microsoft Teams Live Events, personal data is transferred to and stored at the European data centers of Microsoft Ireland Operations, Ltd.

In doing so, we observe the special requirements of Art. 44 to 50 GDPR. The contract necessary for this (Microsoft Service Online Terms, "OST") has been concluded.
