Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 10, 2025
The success of our products depends, to a large extent, on the fact that our customers can trust us with the security and protection of their data. In accordance with the statutory provisions, we take effective technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of protection in the processing of personal data, that is commensurate with the risk involved. Furthermore, we take the protection of your personal data into account through technical design and data protection-friendly standardized settings in the development or selection of hardware, software, and processes.
We place great importance on protecting your privacy and comply with the statutory data protection regulations. With the following information, we would like to inform you in accordance with Art. 13 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) about what types of personal data will be processed by us or on our behalf, based on which legal basis, for which purposes, and to what extent. In addition, we will inform you of your rights as a data subject with regards to this processing.
In the event that the described processing procedures change, we will adapt this Privacy Policy as necessary. For this reason, we invite you to check the contents of our Privacy Policy on a regular basis. If any actions on your part (e.g. consent) are required due to changes, we will ask you for this in advance.
This privacy policy has been originally drafted in English language.

If AnyDesk is operating through its subsidiary companies the subsidiary company may be the data controller or joint data controller for the processing of your personal data.
Data protection officer
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our data protection officer. Insofar as AnyDesk Software GmbH is the controller, you can contact our data protection officer at:
activeMind.Legal Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft
Potsdamer Straße 3
DE-80802 München
dpo@anydesk.com.
If one of our subsidiaries is the controller, you can contact our data protection officer at:
Data Security
We use state-of-the-art encryption methods (for example,. SSL) via HTTPS in order to protect the security of your data during transfer. Our security measures are being continuously improved in line with technological developments.
Legal basis
AnyDesk processes your data in accordance with the data protection regulations of the German Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz - "BDSG") in the version valid as of May 25, 2018 and the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation - "GDPR").
The relevant legal basis for the processing is stated in the information on the individual categories of data.
Categories of data, purpose and legal basis for processing
AnyDesk processes different categories of personal data. In the following sections, the data is presented according to the group of data subjects, the respective purpose, and the relevant legal basis.
When you conclude a contract with us
Customers and business partners
Insofar as we are in a contractual, quasi-contractual or pre-contractual business relationship with you, i.e. if you are already a customer, business partner or are interested in such a legal relationship ("contractual partner"), we process the following data as necessary:
Personal data (e.g. names, addresses, gender, company, location)
Payment data (e.g. bank details, invoices, payment history)
Contract data (e.g. subject matter of the contract, type of license, term, customer category, customer ID, login information)
Usage data (e.g. websites visited, interest in content, access times, time and duration of the respective remote data connection (session), data volume transferred, online status of the AnyDesk-Client)
Meta-/communication data (e.g. device information, device ID, IP and MAC addresses)
Content of communication directed at us (e.g. product or contract inquiries, error messages, responses to our surveys)
We will inform you in a transparent manner before or during data collection which of this data is required for this purpose. We process the data:
to be able to address you in communication,
to answer your questions,
to establish and fulfill our contractual obligations,
to protect our rights,
to protect against unauthorized use, overuse, and misuse of our offers,
for related administrative tasks, and
for the purposes of business organization.
Your data is processed, in particular, to allow you to select, acquire or order the selected products (licenses to use our software and any associated services), as well as to enable payment and processing. During the registration process required to acquire a license, we will create an account for you on in our systems ("customer account" or "user account"). During registration, we will point out which of the above-mentioned details are required for this purpose, in particular to verify registration or the respective use of our login functions and the use of the user account, and to prevent any unauthorized use, overuse, and misuse of the customer account.
The customer account (my.anydesk.com) gives you access to your connection data, the contract/license information, information about the AnyDesk clients that are linked to the license, your master data as a customer, invoices, and any settings for payment methods. AnyDesk customer accounts are not public and cannot be indexed by search engines. We may use email or in-app messaging to inform users about processes relevant to their user account (such as technical changes) or to invite them to participate in surveys.
The legal basis for the processing is therefore:
For contract performance and pre-contractual inquiries - Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR
With regard to legal obligation - Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR
Otherwise, with regard to our legitimate interests - Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR
We do not store any content of the respective remote data connection (session data) beyond the required scope of data transfer. The customer can create a chat log or a session recording, which is then only stored locally on the customer's computer. AnyDesk does not access these session data.
When we receive your data from third parties
Integration with external platforms
We may receive your personal data (e.g., email address, name, case ID, case description) from integration partners that have integrated AnyDesk into their platforms and that are used by your internal or contracted external support team as a platform extension. We use this data to provide our customers with consistent and synchronized information within the AnyDesk software, enabling effective remote support services via external platforms.
On behalf of our customer, you as a user may receive an invitation link via email or another communication channel inviting you to a remote session. This link will take you to our website, where you can download and launch the AnyDesk software or open an AnyDesk application already installed on your device to then enter a remote session with your support team.
Please note that downloading and starting the AnyDesk software will establish a remote session with your support team. This allows the support team to directly access your device, remotely control it, and take full control, including access to your personal data stored on the device. During the remote session, you have the option to change the permissions granted and end the session at any time.
When you visit our website and use our online services
Log files
When users visit our website, i.e., even if they do not register or otherwise submit information, we (or our web hosting provider) collect user access data (so-called server log files). The server log files can include the following data:
The address and name of the websites and files accessed
Date and time of access
Data volumes transferred
Notification of successful access
Browser type and version
User's operating system
Referrer URL (the previously visited page)
IP address
This processing takes place to ensure problem-free connection to and smooth use of our website, and to ensure system security and stability. In particular, we do not use your data to draw conclusions about your person. Information of this kind may be statistically evaluated by us in order to optimize our website and the technology behind it. This processing takes place in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website and preventing the misuse of our services.

This serves to fulfill contractual obligations in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, provided that your request is related to an existing contractual relationship. If your request is not contract-related, the processing of your data is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, which you express by using the support form.
Contact form for integration partners, partners, and the influencer program
By providing your data via our various contact forms for integration partners, partners, and the influencer program, you can introduce yourself as a potential integration partner, general business partner, or influencer and initiate a collaboration with AnyDesk.

The personal data transmitted via this form will be processed for the efficient processing and resolution of your support requests. This processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, as it is necessary for the performance of our contract.

On our website, you have the option of requesting white papers, guides, e-books, and other electronic documents. The purpose of this is to provide our visitors with high-quality and relevant information about AnyDesk software.

The legal basis for this processing is your consent, Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
Registration and use of customer account
In the context of the registrations and use of the customer accounts, we store the IP addresses of the customers together with the access times in order to be able to verify the registration and to prevent possible misuse of the customer account. The legal basis for the data processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
Surveys
We rely on the voluntary feedback from our customers and website users in order to continuously improve our services and products. For this reason, we also use technical services and form functions of third-party providers, which we integrate into our website, in order to establish contact and to design specific surveys.
When you use our surveys, we collect the data you enter as well as meta and communication data such as your IP address. The data collected enables us to analyze your feedback and improve our services in a targeted manner. The data is assigned to your customer and contract data to enable comprehensive evaluation and analysis.
Your data will be processed on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. Participation in the surveys is completely voluntary and not necessary for the fulfillment of our contractual obligations.
In exceptional cases, your data will be processed on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, provided that the survey is aimed at existing customers and relates to products ordered.
Press mailing list subscription
Subscribing to the AnyDesk press mailing list allows you to receive regular press releases and announcements to stay informed about the latest developments at our company. This information will be sent to you directly by email, enabling you to stay up to date with our company events.
The data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to us and stored. The legal basis for this processing is your consent, Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
Newsletters (email marketing)
You have the option of subscribing to a newsletter, i.e. receiving emails from us, via our website. The specific content of the newsletter is based on the description provided during subscription (e.g. special offers, products and events); otherwise, our newsletters contain information about our services and our company.
In order to subscribe, you just need to provide your email address. It will only be used to send you the newsletter you have subscribed to by email. After subscribing, you will receive an email to this email address, in which you will be asked to confirm your subscription in order to prevent someone from subscribing with a different email address ("double-opt-in procedure"). We record all newsletter subscriptions in order to prove the legal conformity of the subscription process. This includes storing the time of registration and confirmation as well as the IP address.
Our newsletter is sent on the basis of your prior express consent, Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by sending a message to the contact details provided in this privacy policy or by clicking on the link provided for this purpose in the newsletter. After unsubscribing, we will delete your email address from the recipient list, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or we reserve the right to use your data beyond this scope, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this privacy policy.
If we receive your email address in connection with the sale of our product or service and you have not objected to this, we reserve the right to send you regular offers by email for similar products or services from our range (existing customer advertising) on the basis of Art. 7 (3) of the German Unfair Competition Act (UWG). This serves to protect our legitimate interest in direct marketing, which prevails in the context of a balancing of interests, Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. You can object to this use of your email address at any time by sending a message to the contact options described in this privacy policy or via a link provided for this purpose in the marketing email (see also below regarding your right to object), without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates.
If we commission a service provider to send emails, this is done on the basis of our legitimate interests in an efficient and secure mailing system (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).
Profiling:
If you have given us your consent, we will evaluate your use of the newsletter sent to you and analyze your subsequent visits to our website in order to further improve the newsletter and our website and optimize them in line with the actual interests of visitors.
For this purpose, the newsletters may contain a so-called “web beacon” (also known as a “tracking pixel”), i.e. a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from our server or from the server of a mailing service provider commissioned by us when the newsletter is opened. As part of this retrieval, we collect technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and the time of retrieval. On the one hand, this information is used to improve our newsletters on the basis of the technical data or to determine target groups and their reading behavior on the basis of their retrieval locations (which can be determined using the IP address) or access times.
On the other hand, this analysis includes determining whether or not the newsletters are opened, when they are opened, and which links are clicked on.
Job Application
You can submit your application to us online via our website. The following data will be stored when you send the message:
Date and time of the request
URL from which the request was made
IP address from which the request was made
Web browser and operating system used.
Alternatively, you can contact us using the email addresses provided. In this case, the personal data transmitted with the email will be stored. This includes the date and time the email was sent, the email address, IP addresses, and information about the servers involved in the email communication.
You can also contact us using the telephone number provided. In this case, we collect log data that includes your telephone number and the duration of the call. As a rule, we do not record calls.
We will process the data you provide exclusively for the purpose of assessing your professional suitability and contacting you. Which data this is in the individual case can be seen from the respective job advertisement or from the information provided in the relevant online forms. When you apply for a job offer, we usually process the following categories of personal data:
Contact information:
First and last name (title, if applicable)
Address
Phone number
Email address
Qualification-related information, in particular:
Academic achievements and other information contained in the curriculum vitae, including information on prices and scholarships and extracurricular achievements, information on dissertation projects, information on education and professional experience
Copies of diplomas and certificates
Photos attached to an application, if applicable
Information on (possibly only planned or hoped for) further education and other career steps as well as professional focuses and interests, if applicable
We collect these data directly from you and only process them to the extent necessary for the application process. The legal basis for this processing is § 26 BDSG in conjunction with Art. 88 GDPR, as well as (for the implementation of pre-contractual measures with regard to freelancers) Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. The data will be encrypted and transferred to us in accordance with the latest state of the art. Please note that we may use third-party services for the purpose of searching for and selecting applicants (e.g. applicant management or recruitment software and platforms). The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in an efficient and transparent job advertisement (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR; please also refer to the information in "Data recipients").
During the application process, special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 (1) GDPR (e.g. health data, such as severe impairment or ethnic origin) are processed only for the purpose of exercising the obligations or rights arising to us or the data subject from labor law and social security and social protection law (Art. 9 (2) (b) GDPR), and otherwise to protect the vital interests of applicants or other persons according to Art. 9 (2) (c) GDPR or for health care or occupational medicine purposes, for assessing the employee's ability to work, for medical diagnostics, for care or treatment in the health or social sector, or for the administration of systems and services in the health or social sector in accordance with Art. 9 (2) (h) GDPR. In the case of a notification of the special categories of data based on voluntary consent, their processing is based on Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR.
Cookies
In addition, we use so-called cookies, i.e. text files that are stored on a user's computer by a browser and contain information about this user during or after his visit to a website, which may be processed by us. This information includes, for example, the login status, pages or media accessed, pseudonymous online identification ("user" or "AnyDesk IDs"), the content of a shopping cart, the licensed product selected, or the user-specific settings on our websites.
Please note that there are different types of cookies with different purposes:
First-party cookies are set by us.
Third-party cookies are mainly used by advertisers (so-called third parties) to process user information.
Temporary cookies (also: session cookies) are deleted at the latest after a user has left a website and closed his browser.
Permanent cookies remain stored on the user's computer even after the browser is closed. This allows, for example, saving the login status or displaying the user-preferred content again directly when the user visits the website later. User interests used for audience measurement or marketing purposes may also be stored in such a cookie.
Necessary (also: essential or absolutely necessary) cookies are absolutely necessary for the operation of a website (e.g. to store logins or other user entries, or for security reasons).
Statistical, online marketing and personalization cookies, on the other hand, are used to measure audience and to display content to users that matches their potential interests according to the stored data about access to certain content (so-called tracking). If we use these types of cookies or tracking technologies, we will inform you of this beforehand as part of the process of obtaining your consent.
Depending on the type of cookies, we use them to process your personal data either on the basis of a previously given consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and § 25 (1) of the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG) or on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (e.g. our legitimate interest in the commercial operation of our online offering and its improvement) and § 25 (2) TDDDG.
Before we process your data or have them processed in the context of the use of cookies, when you access the page, we will inform you about which cookies we use and will ask for your consent, which can be revoked at any time (see cookie opt-in tool or banner). Before the consent is given, only cookies which are absolutely necessary for the operation of our website may be used.
In addition to the option of revoking your consent at any time, you can also view our website without cookies. Please note that Internet browsers are regularly set to accept cookies. In general, you can disable the use of cookies at any time via your browser settings. Please use the help functions of your Internet browser to find out how you can change these settings (individual functions of our website, such as registration and use of the customer portal, may not work if you have disabled the use of cookies). With regard to tracking, you can also object to the use of cookies via a variety of services, e.g. via the websites https://optout.aboutads.info and https://www.youronlinechoices.com/ ("opt-out").
You can find an overview of the cookies set when you visit our website, including information about the provider, purpose, storage duration, and type, in the cookie banner, where you can also adjust your cookie settings accordingly.
Plugins, embedded functions and content
We integrate various functions and content from third-party providers (e.g. graphics, videos or social media buttons and posts) in our website in order to make relevant information about our company and our services easily accessible to you as a user of our website. For this purpose, the third-party providers process the IP addresses of the users, since without the IP address they would not be able to send the content to their browsers.
Social media buttons
When you click on one of our social media buttons, the data is transferred to the corresponding social network via the so-called "Shariff" application. Instead of your browser, a connection with the server of the respective social network platform is established by the server on which our website is located, i.e. initially no personal data of the user is passed on to the social network provider. A "Shariff" button establishes direct contact between the social network and you as a user only when you actively click on the "Share" button. You can recognize the respective provider of the plugin by the marking on the box or in the circle above its respective first letter or the logo. More information about the "Shariff project" can be obtained from the developers of the ct magazine: https://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Shariff-Social-Media-Buttons-mit-Datenschutz-2467514.html.
For further information on data processing in connection with our social media presence, please refer to our
Pixel tags
In addition, third-party providers may use so-called pixel tags (also known as web beacons) in order to evaluate visitor flows. This exclusively pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the user's device and may contain technical information about the browser and operating system, websites to be referred to, the time of visit, and other details on the use of our website, and may also be linked to such information from other sources. With regard to the legal basis and the individual opt-out options, please refer to the information on the use of cookies in this Privacy Policy.
Protection of the website
We use the "Wordfence Security" service to protect our website from viruses and malware and to fend off attacks by computer criminals. IP addresses are stored on the third-party servers, in particular, to protect against so-called brute-force and DDoS attacks. IP addresses classified as harmless are placed on a white list. The protection of our website and its users constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. In addition, the plugin uses cookies to recognize whether the visitor of our website is a human or a robot. In this respect, please refer to the information on the use of cookies in this Privacy Policy. The Live Traffic View option of the plugin is disabled as it is not mandatory.
Multilingual design
We also use the multilingual WPML plugin in order to offer you our website in different languages. The design of our website that is comprehensible for as many users as possible constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. For this purpose, when you visit our website, WPML sets a cookie in order to store the language setting you have selected. In this respect, please refer to the information on the use of cookies in this Privacy Policy.
SEO
We use the YOAST SEO plugin to support the search engine optimization of our website. This plugin ensures the technical optimization of our website for search engines while supporting us in the development of content on our website. This is done to make sure that customer groups interested in our offers can easier find us on the Internet, which is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The plugin uses cookies. In this respect, please refer to the information on the use of cookies in this Privacy Policy.
Web analysis
For the evaluation of visitor flows on our website, we may record the behavior, interests or demographic information of the users of our website as pseudonymous values. Based on this audience analysis, we can, for example, identify under which IP address, at what time and from where certain contents of our website or its functions are most frequently accessed, or invite the user to use them again. This also allows us to better understand which functions or content of our website require optimization (because they are not accessed as often or not at all). For this purpose, we create and store user profiles in a file (a so-called cookie), or we may use similar procedures with the same purpose.
On the one hand, to protect the users, we use a so-called IP masking procedure (pseudonymization by shortening the IP address) when storing the users' IP addresses. On the other hand, in the context of web analysis and optimization, no real user ID data is stored (i.e. neither email addresses nor names), but strictly pseudonyms. Therefore, we do not know the actual identity of the users. We use the stored data exclusively for the aforementioned purposes in their pseudonymous user profiles. With regard to the legal basis and the individual opt-out options, please refer to the information on the use of cookies in this Privacy Policy.
Online marketing
User profiles can be created and stored in a file (cookie) to display advertising content or to market advertising space (online marketing). These data can be used to determine the users' potential interests and to measure the effectiveness of online marketing. The stored data may include content accessed, websites visited, online networks used, as well as communication partners and technical information, such as the IP address, the browser used, the computer system used, and information on usage times. If users have consented to their location data being collected, this data may also be processed.
The following shall also apply in the case of online marketing: We use a so-called IP masking procedure (pseudonymization by shortening the IP address) when storing IP addresses. In the context of web analysis and optimization, no real user ID data is stored (i.e. neither email addresses nor names), but strictly pseudonyms.
Therefore, we do not know the actual identity of the users. We use these stored data exclusively for the aforementioned purposes in their pseudonymous user profiles. In exceptional cases, real ID data may be assigned to the user profiles if the respective user is a member of a social network whose online marketing process we use and with whose providers the users have entered into agreements (e.g. by giving consent during registration), according to which the network may link the user profiles with the aforementioned data.
Otherwise, we only have access to summarized information about the success of our advertisements, i.e. we can measure which of our online marketing processes have led to a so-called conversion (i.e. to an inquiry or a contract with us).
In general, the data stored in the cookies (or using comparable processes) may also be read on other websites (which use the same online marketing process) and, in turn, may be analyzed for the purpose of displaying content, supplemented with further data if necessary, and stored on the server of the online marketing process provider.
With regard to the legal basis for online marketing processes and the individual opt-out options, please refer to the information on the use of cookies in this Privacy Policy.
Review procedures and widgets
We use the so-called review widgets on the AnyDesk website to allow our customers to review providers and products, and for our own quality management. In the process, a reference to the results of the review of our products by customers offered by a service provider named in there is integrated via a linked page or image element. When the image element is called up, the service provider's web server automatically saves the IP address and the information listed under "Log files". Further personal data may be transferred to the respective service provider if you have decided to review our products according to their terms and conditions.
This data processing takes place on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR and is necessary to safeguard our legitimate interest in transparent review management and to ensure that we only publish reviews by users who can actually report on their own experiences as our customers and users of our products.
Customer Relationship Management
We use Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems to maintain our customer relationships as part of our online presence. They help us to effectively systematize, manage and document product-relevant information offers and communication with our customers. This is done using software solutions which integrate the following aspects when using our website:
Contact management
Email marketing
Social media publishing
Web analysis
Online marketing
Registration services (our user account my.anydesk.com)
Customer review management
With regard to the legal basis and the individual opt-out options, please refer to the information on the aforementioned topics and the services used in this Privacy Policy.
In the case that you are already a registered customer of AnyDesk, the Web Analysis and Online Marketing services may contain specific information about your customer, contact and contract information that shall be linked with your account. The legal basis for the use of this personal data is our legitimate interests in improving our website to make it easier for the customers to use it and to provide additional information and offers pertaining to our services (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).
Content-Delivery-Network
In order to deliver the content of our online offering, i.e. including large media files (such as graphics, videos or program scripts), to you more quickly and securely, we use regionally distributed servers connected via the Internet in a so-called “content delivery network” (CDN). A connection to the CDN service provider's server is established and your IP address is transmitted to it. If you are logged in to this service provider with an existing user account while visiting our websites, they can also associate your visit to our websites with your user behavior. The legal basis for the use of a CDN and the associated data transfer is our legitimate interest in improving our online offering to make it easier for customers to use (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).
In addition, further cookies may be sent to your browser by the service provider. In this respect, please refer to the information on the use of cookies in this privacy policy.

For this purpose, we will process the above-mentioned usage data as well as your customer ID. In the course of deciding whether and how we should contact and inform you, we will also process the type of license you have, the language and version of the product you are using and/or your country, and we may also use data that we have collected through web analysis.
The data processing necessary for the verification of the usage authorization and the provision of the functionalities of the application itself serves to fulfill contractual obligations (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR). In addition, we process data if this is required to secure the application or protect our legitimate business interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR; e.g. collection of data for the purpose of optimizing the application, or for security purposes). Otherwise, data will only be processed to the extent to which you as the user have expressly given your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR).
Please note that the opt-out or revocation of the respective authorizations may affect the functionality of our application.
Google Speech-to-Text
In our app you will find the Google Speech-to-Text function. This is operated by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter "Google").
This function is used to compose voice messages and send them to the Google Cloud for conversion into character strings.
The Google Speech-to-Text function is provided as an option.
Data is therefore only transmitted to Google when you press the microphone icon. This activates the microphone you are using and you now have the option of converting the spoken language into text.
Purpose
The purpose is to enable a more comfortable and user-friendly use of our app.
By converting the spoken words and sentences into text through Google Speech-to-Text, the processes are accelerated and simplified.
Legal basis
The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) f) DSGVO.
Our legitimate interest is to improve the functionality and usability of our app.
Recipients of the data
If you activate the microphone icon and make a voice input, Google receives the spoken sentence in order to convert it into text.
Google does not make the audio sent to the Speech-to-Text API available to anyone except as necessary to provide the Speech-to-Text API service. For example, it may be necessary to engage a third-party provider to provide some aspects of Google's services, such as data storage or transmission. In these cases, that provider is subject to contractual obligations of security and confidentiality. Google does not share your audio content with other parties for any other purpose.
Storage period
AnyDesk does not store your data as part of the Speech-to-Text function. Your data is passed directly to Google for conversion.
By default, Google does not log a customer's audio data or transcripts.
Google uses customer data to optimise and improve the speech recognition service, only if you sign up for the data logging program.
AnyDesk has chosen not to enroll in the data logging program in order to protect your personal data.
However, we cannot exclude the possibility that Google may retain audio files.
Provision mandatory or required
The provision of your personal data is voluntary and is not required by law or contract. However, without the data transfer to Google-Speech-to-Text, a conversion of your spoken language into text is not possible.
Objection
Please read the information about your right to object according to Art. 21 DSGVO below.
You can find more detailed information about data processing by Google in the Google Privacy Notice: https://policies.google.com/privacy and more detailed information about the Google Speech-to-Text function here: https://cloud.google.com/speech-to-text?hl=en
Telemetry-Data
Nature and purpose of processing
We collect and aggregate user telemetry data in connection with the provision of our services for the following purposes:
Evaluating interactions:
From the analysis on the use of the program interface and functions, insights can be gained into the acceptance of AnyDesk's graphical components and functionalities, so that areas with potential for optimization can be better identified in the context of further product development and the user experience can be improved.
Licenses and scamming
When using the free version of AnyDesk, usage data is reviewed to determine whether the user's behaviour patterns are in accordance with our “AnyDesk Free” Supplementary Terms and Conditions, see the section entitled "Automated Decision Making (License Audit)".
Usage data is analysed to detect potential scamming cases at an early stage.
Evaluation of system data
Which hardware is used when AnyDesk software is in use provides us with important information for support purposes, for example, in the event of client-side performance problems. In addition, this information is used for further product development with regard to system modifications.
Type of data
Version of client, client ID, IP address, operating system, zone of relay (continent, later country), license, license name, network ID, first login, last login, user_identifier (user) hashed, information about interactions: Timestamp of interaction, message counter,
Category of interaction: click, drag, drop, etc.
Identifier for interaction: login, frontend, click events, undraggable, auto-update, etc., which window e.g. settings or window for file transfer (within the software).
Legal basis
The processing of telemetry data is based on the user's consent according to Art. 6 (1) (a) DSGVO.
Storage period
The data will only be processed as long as your consent is given or for 2 years.
Provision mandatory or required
This consent is voluntary. If it is not given, you will not have any disadvantages. This consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.
Revocation of consent
The revocation of consent is possible at any time with effect for the future and can be done by using the deactivation button.
Automated decision making
see paragraph - "Automated decision making (license audit)".
Automated decision making (license audit)
We offer personal users of our licensed products (i.e. exclusively for uses that cannot be attributed to commercial or self-employed professional activity) the option of a free version, which can be used without setting up a user account after simply downloading the application. In this case, we may analyze your usage data (see above under "Applications") in line with our "AnyDesk Free" Supplementary Terms and Conditions in order to be able to assess whether your behavior pattern aligns with the contractual purpose of use and thus to the selected license type (license audit).
If, based on the results of this analysis, a fee-based license is required, we reserve the right to restrict or even block your access to our server services and we will ask you to purchase a fee-based license. This takes place in an automated decision-making process according to our system settings. You can contact our Support at any time to ask us to reassess your user behavior. We will inform you beforehand which information you will need to provide.
The automated decision-making process as part of the license audit and the use of automated mechanisms based on it (such as the restriction or blocking of non-contractual uses) is essential for the effective control of compliance and, if necessary, the enforcement of our license terms with regard to the considerable number of users of the free version of our application. Since the use of the free version can only be financed through paid usage relationships, this automated decision-making process is necessary to fulfill our contractual services for private users, as it must be effectively ensured that all users use our application within the contractually agreed license scope. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 22 (2) (a) GDPR.
Duration of storage
Personal data is stored as long as processing is necessary for the purposes described under "Categories of data" unless you have expressly given us your consent for a longer storage period (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR), or unless statutory provisions prescribe a longer storage period (Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR). As far as the data is subject to the statutory retention periods, we store this data in our systems until the statutory retention periods have expired (these are generally 6 or 10 years for reasons of proper bookkeeping and tax law requirements).
We will inform you if we use the services of third-party providers or platforms to provide our services, since the relationship between you as a user of these services and the respective providers will then be governed by their terms and conditions and privacy policies (and thus possibly different storage periods). It is the responsibility of the contractual partner to secure their data when the storage period expires (e.g. if the customer account is terminated).
With regard to email addresses provided by you to receive newsletters, the following shall apply as well: We store deleted email addresses for up to three years on the basis of our legitimate interests before we delete them in order to be able to prove a previously given consent (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). The processing of this data is limited to the purpose of possible defense against claims. An individual request for deletion may be made at any time provided that the previous existence of consent is confirmed at the same time. In the event of obligations to take due account of objections, we reserve the right to store the email address in a blacklist (so-called "blocklist") for this purpose alone.
In addition, the following shall apply with regard to the application process:
Unless the application has led to the commencement of employment with us, the personal data collected via our job portal or by other means for the purposes of the application process will be further processed for a maximum of three years after the process has been completed (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) for evidence preservation purposes, after which they will be deleted or anonymized. The application process itself is considered completed no later than three months after receipt of your application.
Upon termination of the contractual relationship with customer, all information relating to the user account will be deleted, subject to a statutory retention period. It is the responsibility of the users to back up their data before the end of the contract. We are entitled to irretrievably delete all user data stored during the term of the contract.
Data recipients
We will only pass on your data to third parties in compliance with the statutory provisions to the extent that this
a. is necessary for the purposes described under "Categories of data",
b. is necessary to fulfill legal obligations, or
c. takes place with your consent as a data subject.
If the transfer or disclosure of the data takes place on our behalf for the execution of data processing processes that are earmarked for a specific purpose or subject to consent according to (a) above, we will enter into suitable contracts or agreements with the recipients of the data (processors) which serve to protect your data (Art. 28 GDPR).
