We cannot influence these data processing operations by Microsoft. To the extent that Microsoft Teams processes personal data in connection with its legitimate business purposes, Microsoft acts as an independent controller for this data processing and is obligated as such to comply with applicable data protection regulations. Where technically possible and contractually possible and permissible, we select the most privacy-friendly settings when using MS 365 M so that the transmission of customer and metadata to Microsoft is limited as much as possible.
