The **Zoom Privacy Policy** at the **Universität Greifswald** defines the boundaries and legal justifications for processing personal data during online meetings.

## Data Processing Scope
The university processes the following data types via Zoom:
- **Identity Data:** Name and email (mandatory for entry); phone, profile picture, and department (optional).
- **Technical Metadata:** IP addresses, hardware info, and meeting descriptions.
- **Communication Data:** Audio/video streams, chat inputs, and poll responses.
- **Telephony Data:** For phone dial-ins, the system records numbers, country, and timestamps.

## Privacy Safeguards
The university applies the principle of **Data Minimization** through the following measures:
1. **Routing:** Forcing traffic through European data centers.
2. **Feature Restriction:** Deactivating software-side "Attention Tracking."
3. **Transparency:** Requiring prior notification and consent for any recording of sessions.
4. **Limited Retention:** Meeting reports for registered users are deleted after one month.

## Legal Basis
Processing is justified under:
- **Art. 6(1)(e) GDPR:** Public interest (university tasks).
- **Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR:** Contractual obligations (employment).
- **Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR:** Explicit consent (specifically for recordings).
