Article 6, paragraph 1, point (b), of the GDPR serves as legal grounds for the processing of personal data where the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party. This also applies to data processing that is necessary to take steps prior to entering into a contract.
Article 6, paragraph 1, point (c), of the GDPR serves as legal grounds for the processing of personal data where processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject.
Additionally, we process personal data for the purposes of our legitimate interests and the legitimate interests of third parties in accordance with Article 6, paragraph 1, point (f), of the GDPR. Such legitimate interests include preserving the functionality of our IT systems, marketing our own and third-party products and services and the legally necessary documentation of business contacts.

In order to virtualise meetings, msg life ag organises videoconferences in which participants’ voices and potentially also their images are transmitted to all of the other participants by microphone and webcam (‘videoconferences’).
In the process, msg life ag uses service providers which provide msg life ag with their software and potentially also technology (‘videoconference systems’). Pursuant to Article 28 GDPR, msg life ag has entered into a processing agreement with each of these service providers
a) Processing of data by msg life ag for the purposes of videoconferences
We have to process various types of data in order to use videoconferences. The total amount of data processed as part of videoconferences depends on the features of the videoconference system provided by the videoconference service provider and on the data each user provides before, during and after taking part in a videoconference.
As a rule, the following personal data can be processed for the purposes of a videoconference:
Data relating to the user: such as the user’s display name, online status (optional), status notifications, profile picture (optional), email address (under certain circumstances) and preferred language.
Meeting metadata: such as the date, time, duration, meeting ID, phone number (under certain circumstances) and location.
Text, audio, video and other multimedia data: Data from your microphone, your webcam or a device display (if you use a screen or content-sharing tool) will be processed for the duration of the meeting for the purposes of displaying video signals and audio signal and multimedia file playback. For example, the latter is necessary if you have to give a screen presentation. Each user can activate and deactivate the transmission of data from their camera and microphone at any time. A user has to actively turn on the screen/content-sharing tool and can turn it off again at any time.
You can also use the chat feature simultaneously in a videoconference. In this context, the text you type, the links or content you share and your social interactions (such as emojis, pictograms, ‘liking’ comments or sending GIFs) will be processed in order to show them to the participants in the videoconference.
b) Legal grounds for data processing
The legal grounds differ depending on whether employees of msg life ag are taking part in the videoconference organised by msg life ag:
If the personal data of employees of msg life ag are processed, the data processing is based on Section 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) in conjunction with Article 88 GDPR in order to establish, execute (i.e. organise) and terminate the employment relationship.
For other videoconferences and if we have no contractual relationships with the participants (i.e. employment), we organise videoconferences on the basis of point (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR. In this context, we also have a legitimate interest in the effective execution of videoconferences for and with third parties.
c) Storage of data
Videoconferences are not recorded. If a videoconference is set to be recorded, msg life ag will inform all participants transparently and, if necessary, ask for their consent.
Microsoft logs the content of chats when Microsoft Teams is used. Files that users share in chats are stored in the OneDrive for Business account of the user who shared the file. Files that team members share in a channel are stored on that team’s SharePoint website.
No automated decision-making as defined by Article 22 GDPR is used.
d) Recipients of data
Personal data that are processed in connection with participation in videoconferences are only shared with our processors, i.e. the service providers who help us execute the videoconferences.
Otherwise, the data will only be disclosed to third parties if msg life ag is legally obliged to do so (e.g. by a court order) or if the data subject expressly consents to the disclosure of his/her data.
e) Data processing outside of the European Union
Where possible, msg life ag has restricted its storage sites to data centres in the European Union. Therefore, no data processing takes place outside of the European Union.
On our website, we use the service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as Google Tag Manager).

When you open an account with us, we will ask you to provide the following data: First name, surname, e-mail address and a password of your choosing. The verification code that we send you and you provide during registration designates your employer. This information is used for billing purposes. Additionally, you are free to upload a profile picture to the application.
After you register, you will receive a verification e-mail in order to confirm your identity. The verification link is valid for two weeks.
For what purposes and on what legal grounds are your data used?
On the one hand, we process these data in order to create your account so you can access the services we provide and we can execute the contract. On the other hand, we process the data so you can create a profile.
As long as we require your data in order to execute the contract with you and provide you with our services or take steps prior to entering into a contract due to an enquiry you have submitted, the data processing is based on point (b) of Article 6(1) GDPR. If you voluntarily provide details in order to complete your profile, the data processing is based on point (a) of Article 6(1) GDPR.
Processing of personal information
Your data are stored on highly secure servers within the European Union. Technical and organisational measures have been implemented in order to protect your data from loss and destruction and from being accessed, altered and disseminated by unauthorised parties. Your data can only be accessed by a few authorised people. These people are responsible for technical server maintenance, server administration or editing. However, despite regular checks, complete security against all risks cannot be guaranteed.
Your personal data will be encrypted when transmitted over the Internet. Data transfers will be subject to SSL and TLS encryption (Secure Socket Layer / Transport Layer Security).
Disclosure of personal data to third parties
As a rule, we shall only use your personal data to provide the services you require. In order to provide digital training courses, we use the study platform provided by Magh und Boppert GmbH, Schulze-Delitzsch-Str. 8, 33100 Paderborn.
The following data are processed on the platform: First name, surname, e-mail address and study history (completed courses, event participation, feedback and certifications).

Furthermore, the data shall not be shared with third parties, either in full or as extracts. The data shall not be compared with other databases. We shall not share your data with third parties, especially for advertising purposes, without your express consent. We shall only disclose your personal data if you have consented to the disclosure or if we are entitled or obliged to do so under statutory provisions and/or official or court orders. In particular, the purpose of such a disclosure might be to provide information for prosecution, avert a dangerous situation or enforce intellectual property rights.
Erasure of data and duration of storage
As a rule, we shall always erase or block your personal data when they are no longer necessary for the purpose for which they were originally stored. However, the data can be stored for longer if this is required by legal regulations to which we are subject, potentially with regard to statutory duties of storage and documentation. In such a case, we shall erase or block your personal data after the regulations cease to apply.
You can delete your voluntarily uploaded profile picture – which we store with your consent – at any time by clicking on ‘Delete picture’ in your profile. This constitutes a withdrawal of consent in the sense of Article 7(3) GDPR.
We shall store the data in the user account for as long as you remain an active user. If you are inactive for one year, your account status shall be set to inactive. You can request the deletion of your user account at any time.
