^{Data protection notes: In order for you to be able to use Office 365 ProPlus, DrVis automatically creates a user account for you in Microsoft's Office portal, from which Office 365 ProPlus can be downloaded. This account is created with a pseudonymized, fictitious e-mail address, the part of which before the @ sign you can choose yourself, as the user name. This procedure ensures that no one, neither DrVis, nor Microsoft, can establish a connection between your personal data and your pseudonymous Office 365 account.}
