In connection with the use of social media, we also use the associated messengers to communicate easily with users. We would like to point out that the security of individual services may depend on the user's account settings. Even in the case of end-to-end encryption, the service provider can draw conclusions about the fact that and when users communicate with us and may collect location data.

If you do not want to or cannot use the "Microsoft Teams" app, you can also use "Microsoft Teams" via your browser. The service is then also provided via the "Microsoft Teams" website.
