In typical use, the following data categories arise. Which ones are relevant for you depends on your setup and scope of use.

  • Guest name & email address
  • Appointment and timezone data
  • Phone number (optional)
  • Pre-screening answers (lead qualification)
  • Calendar sync tokens (Google / Microsoft)

Data Subjects

Who is affected by the processing?

Under Art. 30 GDPR, you must document the categories of data subjects per processing activity. In typical use, these include:

  • Applicants booking an interview slot
  • Prospects scheduling a demo call
  • Clients / patients booking a consultation
  • Existing customers scheduling a follow-up

Concrete Impact

What does this mean in practice?

A US authority could theoretically request a list of all persons who have scheduled an appointment with your company, including applicants, clients or patients. The CLOUD Act allows this without involving German courts.

Note: This is a risk description, not a specific incident. Whether access occurred in your case depends on many factors. What can be documented: the risk must be named in your TIA and mitigated with additional measures.
