 From this point on, you have the option of independently linking further data to the account, e.g. Email addresses or phone numbers. This data collection is only done on your own initiative and is purely voluntary. We recommend that you do not save any unnecessary data in your Matrix account. From this point on, you have the option of independently linking further data to the account, e.g. Email addresses or phone numbers.

 Due to the decentralized nature of the matrix service (federation), you can participate in external rooms or contact external users. In concrete terms, external means that the rooms and users are not part of our local server. In this case, your data will be transmitted to external servers. This specifically includes your name, data voluntarily linked to your account (see above), and your IP address(es). Of course, we no longer have this data under control. If you do not agree to the transfer of your data to external servers, please do not use any external rooms or comparable external resources. Due to the decentralized nature of the matrix service (federation), you can participate in external rooms or contact external users.

 +We believe that Federation is an essential part of the matrix Network, so we decided to explicitly allow the communication with external servers, hoping that you will understand that your personal data will only leave our server if you choose to connect to external rooms or contacts by your own personal choice to do so.
  
 There are rooms that use widgets, bots or connectors to supply other communication networks with content. If you are in such rooms, your data also leaves the server and is no longer in our local area of ​​influence. We therefore recommend that you check the rooms you use accordingly and, if in doubt, not to use any external resources if you do not agree with this fact. There are rooms that use widgets, bots or connectors to supply other communication networks with content.
