# Legal Basis for Processing

The **Legal Basis for Processing** refers to the legal justification required under the GDPR to handle personal data. 

For the [[nextcloud]] service at Universität Greifswald, the processing is justified by:
- **Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. e DSGVO**: Processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.
- **§ 6 Abs. 2 Datenschutzsatzung**: Processing data required for user identification and the operation of the teaching/learning environment.
- **§ 8 Abs. 6 URZ-Ordnung**: Processing of traffic and connection data for communication services.
