Microsoft Bookings & Microsoft Teams
For what purposes and on what legal basis do we process your personal data?
In the case of independent booking of an online appointment using Microsoft Bookings and subsequent execution using Microsoft Teams, the legal basis is your consent in accordance with the German Data Protection Act. Art. 6 par. 1 lit. a GDPR.
Our employees use the appointment booking service “MicrosoftBookings” (MS Bookings)(https://products.office.com/de-de/business/scheduling-and-booking-app) of the company Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA for the arrangement of appointments in the context of customer service or contract initiation. With this service you can make an appointment online for a consultation with our staff. For the booking service MS Bookings, your entries, your IP address, the page you accessed as well as the time of access and your browser configuration are transmitted to Microsoft.
The video consultation agreed in this way takes place via the “Microsoft Teams” (MS Teams) video conferencing service. Stream data such as image, sound and text data, as well as profile data such as the name and email address are transferred to Microsoft. The legal basis for processing your data in relation to the MS Teams service is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 letter a GDPR (consent). The communication processes are stored for 90 days.
