Data protection information for Zoom use at KIT
KIT endeavors to use privacy-compliant solutions for online teaching within the scope of its possibilities. Due to the currently unfeasible scaling of existing services, cloud-based online settings must also be used. Lecturers and students are free to decide whether or not to use a cloud-based service, knowing on the one hand what data protection concerns exist and on the other hand how temporally indefinite possible alternatives to the use of the cloud-based service will be.In the summer semester 2020, study operations were suspended, face-to-face courses were not possible, and courses were offered as online courses in order to be able to maintain teaching operations.
In order to compensate for the disadvantages of this special summer semester, the deadline for all students to take the orientation exam and repeat exams was extended by one semester. Also, students who were in the highest subject semester according to the study and examination regulations in the summer semester 2020 were automatically granted a deadline extension of one semester.
In the winter semester 2020, there will be attendance courses again - as long as the CoronaVO allows it. In addition, there will have to continue to be online courses or hybrid courses due to hygiene requirements.
If a course is only offered in online format and students do not wish to attend it, e.g. for the aforementioned data protection reasons, an individual case assessment would have to be carried out as things stand at present.
Students are initially advised to contact the person responsible for the course and, if necessary, to find an alternative way of learning the examination material.
Furthermore, it must be differentiated what kind of course it is. If necessary, students can attend the course at a later date and take the associated examination later without this having a detrimental effect on examination deadlines.
If an examination deadline is exceeded due to non-attendance (at the course or examination), an application for an extension of the deadline can be made to the relevant examination board in accordance with the study and examination regulations. The examination board decides on this application.

Privacy policy for students using Zoom(as of 26.11.2021)
Zoom offers the possibility to conduct lectures and seminars online. Furthermore, you will find instructions for Zoom usage to be forwarded to students.
-
Online lectures
In a lecture part, the lecture material is explained by the lecturers. As a student:r you should turn off your audio and/or video for this part. This way, this part can optionally be recorded by the lecturers and made available in ILIAS. In a second part after the end of a potential recording you can get the floor by microphone and/or activate your camera if you wish. -
Online seminars
Online seminars are generally not recorded to allow more interaction between you as a student:r and the lecturers. You can participate in the seminar on a voluntary basis via audio or video and thus interact with your fellow students and lecturers. All participants also have the opportunity to share their screen and contribute to the seminar on a whiteboard or via a comment feature. To protect your student data, online seminars may not be recorded.

Contract adjustments with consideration of the Schrems II ruling
Contract adjustments taking into account the requirements resulting from the Schrems II ruling of the European Court of Justice could be achieved as part of the extension of KIT's Zoom licenses from the summer semester 2021: In connection with the use of cloud providers from the USA, there is the fundamental reservation of potential access by US authorities to personal data of user:s from the EU. Through an addition to the EU standard contractual clauses and further significant, contractual progress, the negative effects of the difficult compatibility of U.S. law and EU law have been contained.
The contractual negotiations also created more transparency with regard to the processing of personal data, in particular through the guaranteed restriction of data processing to servers in the EU and agreement on a clearly defined group of sub-processors.
In addition to the contractual design, KIT has also done everything possible to protect Zoom's user:s as well as possible through the careful configuration of Zoom and the well-coordinated deployment scenarios.
Therefore, it is not expected that Zoom usage will have a negative impact on the rights of users in the context of the use of KIT Zoom licenses.
