Data Protection Declaration for Online Meetings, Conference Calls and Webinars via "Zoom"

In the following, we would like to inform you about the processing of personal data in connection with the use of "Zoom".

 

Purpose of the processing

We use the "Zoom" tool to conduct telephone conferences, online meetings, video conferences and/or online seminars (hereinafter: "online meetings"). "Zoom" is a service of Zoom Video Communications, Inc., which is based in the USA.

 

Person responsible for the data processing

The person responsible for data processing that is directly related to the conduct of "online meetings" is FrankfurtRheinMain GmbH International Marketing of the Region.

Note: If you access the "Zoom" website, the provider of "Zoom" is responsible for data processing. However, calling up the website is only necessary for the use of "Zoom" in order to download the software for the use of "Zoom".

You can also use "Zoom" if you enter the respective meeting ID and, if applicable, other access data for the meeting directly in the "Zoom" app.

If you do not want to or cannot use the "Zoom" app, then the basic functions can also be used via an Internet browser.

 

Which data can be processed?

When using "Zoom", various types of data are processed. The scope of the data also depends on the information you provide before or during participation in an "online meeting".

The following personal data are subject to processing:

  • User details: first name, last name, telephone (optional), e-mail address, password (if "single sign-on" is not used), profile picture (optional),
  • Department (optional)
  • Meeting metadata: topic, description (optional), participant IP addresses, device/hardware information
  • For recordings (optional): MP4 file of all video, audio and presentation recordings, M4A file of all audio recordings, text file of the online meeting chat.
  • When dialing in by telephone: information on the incoming and outgoing phone number, country name, start and end time. If necessary, further connection data such as the IP address of the device can be stored.
  • Text, audio and video data: You may have the option of using the chat, question or survey functions in an "online meeting". In this respect, the text entries you make will be processed in order to display them in the "online meeting" and, if necessary, to log them. In order to enable the display of video and the playback of audio, the data from the microphone of your device and from any video camera of the device will be processed accordingly for the duration of the meeting. You can switch off or mute the camera or microphone yourself at any time via the "Zoom" applications.

In order to participate in an "online meeting" or to enter the "meeting room", you must at least provide information about your name.

 

Scope of processing

We use "Zoom" to conduct "online meetings". If we want to record "online meetings", we will inform you transparently in advance and - if necessary - ask for your consent. The fact of the recording is also displayed in the "Zoom" app.

If it is necessary for the purposes of logging the results of an online meeting, we will log the chat content. However, this will usually not be the case.

In the case of webinars, we may also process the questions asked by webinar participants for the purpose of recording and following up on webinars.

If you are registered as a user with "Zoom", reports on "online meetings" (meeting metadata, telephone dial-in data, questions and answers in webinars, survey function in webinars) can be stored at "Zoom" for up to one month.

Automated decision-making within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR is not used.

 

Legal basis for the data processing

Insofar as personal data of employees of FrankfurtRheinMain GmbH is processed, § 26 BDSG is the legal basis for data processing. If, in connection with the use of "Zoom", personal data is not required for the establishment, implementation or termination of the employment relationship, but is nevertheless an elementary component of the use of "Zoom", Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR is the legal basis for data processing. In these cases, we are interested in the effective implementation of "online meetings".

In all other respects, the legal basis for data processing when conducting "online meetings" is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR, insofar as the meetings are conducted within the framework of contractual relationships.

If there is no contractual relationship, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Here, too, we are interested in the effective implementation of "online meetings".

 

Recipients / disclosure of data

Personal data processed in connection with participation in "online meetings" will not be disclosed to third parties unless they are specifically intended for disclosure. Please note that content from "online meetings" as well as from face-to-face meetings is often used to communicate information with customers, interested parties or third parties and is therefore intended for disclosure.

Other recipients: The provider of "Zoom" necessarily obtains knowledge of the above-mentioned data, insofar as this is provided for in the context of our order processing contract with "Zoom".

 

Data processing outside the European Union

"Zoom" is a service provided by a provider from the USA. Processing of personal data therefore also takes place in a third country. We have concluded an order processing agreement with the provider of "Zoom" that meets the requirements of Art. 28 GDPR.

On the one hand, an adequate level of data protection is guaranteed by the conclusion of the so-called EU standard contractual clauses. As additional protective measures, we have also configured our Zoom in such a way that only data centers in the EU, the EEA or secure third countries such as Canada or Japan are used to conduct "online meetings".
