    Microsoft Teams is part of Microsoft 365 and is therefore software by Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited, based in Dublin, Ireland. We have entered into contractual agreements with Microsoft to protect your data and have agreed on extensive technical and organizational measures.

    When using Microsoft Teams, we process the following personal data:

    • Personal information about you (e.g., email address)
    • Meeting metadata (e.g. topic, IP addresses, device/hardware information)
    • for phone calls (e.g. phone number, country name, start and end time)
    • Text , audio and video data (e.g. chats)

    In addition, Microsoft processes personal data for its own purposes. Munich Re has no influence on this. In these cases, Microsoft is solely responsible for compliance with data protection regulations. For more information about the processing of your personal data by Microsoft Teams, please visit Microsoft Teams website.

    To use Microsoft Teams with us, you do not need to register specifically. You will receive an access link to the appointment from us by e-mail. Unless you have been informed otherwise, you are free to turn your camera and microphone on or off.

    Recording of online meetings

    The meeting organisers can begin a recording and/or determine whether other attendees of the online meeting may begin a recording. In such cases, before any recording, the organisers are to ensure that consent has been obtained from all participants and has been documented. The organisers respectively their company are responsible for the data processing in this regard.

    A display will notify all participants as soon as recording has begun. You will find more information about the functionality and displays here.

    The consent must be voluntary and should be requested directly with the meeting invitation (e.g. through a corresponding declaration upon acceptance). It may also be obtained during the meeting, and then has to be expressed at the beginning of the recording, and itself recorded for documentation.

    Consent does not need to be obtained if the organisers are required by law to record the meeting. Please check the corresponding rules before recording any meetings.

    For Munich Re offices in the EU / in Switzerland

    Before requesting consent, the organisers have to have informed the participants – ideally already in the meeting invitation – of the following at least:

    • the identity including the contact details of the person or division responsible for the recording
    • the purposes of the recording (e.g. lecture by an expert, training, professional development)
    • those who are to have access to the recording including third parties to which the data is being transmitted
    • the length of storage of the recording and the scheduled date for deletion

    This information is also to be documented at the latest by the time recording begins.

    Consent given to the recording may be revoked by an individual participant at any time, though the admissibility of any processing of the recording up to that point remains unaffected.

    For Munich Re offices in China:
    Do not upload, process, or store any Chinese Personal Data, Important Data governed by the laws and regulations of Mainland China with Teams services.

    Teams can detect what’s said in a meeting and present real-time captions. Caption data and data which Caption uses will not be stored and is permanently deleted after the meeting is over. You will find more information on the Microsoft site “Use live captions in a Teams meeting”.
