# Office 365

**Office 365** is the cloud-based subscription version of the Microsoft Office productivity suite.

## Institutional Restrictions
At the Universität Greifswald, the use of Office 365 is strictly regulated by the Universitätsrechenzentrum (URZ):
- **Employee Prohibition**: University employees are generally not permitted to use Office 365 for official duties related to teaching, research, or administration.

This restriction is primarily driven by data privacy concerns and the university's policy on data sovereignty, as Office 365 relies on cloud-based storage and synchronization.
