Privacy supplement for Microsoft Lync Web Scheduler
This page is a supplement to the Privacy Statement for Microsoft Lync Products. In order to understand the data collection and use practices relevant for a particular Microsoft Lync product or service, we recommend you read both the Privacy statement for Microsoft Lync products and this supplement.
This privacy supplement addresses the deployment and use of Microsoft Lync Web Scheduler communications software deployed on your enterprise's devices. If you are using Microsoft Lync as part of an online solution or service (in other words, if a third party [for example, Microsoft] is hosting the servers upon which the software runs), information will be transferred to that third party. To learn more about the use of the data being transferred to that third party, please consult your enterprise administrator or your service provider.

Quality of Experience (QoE) Data Collection and Reporting
What This Feature Does: Quality of Experience (QoE) Data Collection and Reporting collects and reports media quality of peer-to-peer communications and meetings using Lync. These statistics include IP addresses, loss rate, devices used, poor quality events that occurred in the call, and so on.
Information Collected, Processed, or Transmitted: If the enterprise administrator enables QoE, media quality data of peer-to-peer communications Lync and meetings are recorded in the QoE database. This capability does not record the content of the Lync. The QoE data is stored in the Monitoring Server backend database deployed in the enterprise and reported in a set of standard Monitoring Server reports. No information is sent to Microsoft.
Use of Information: The enterprise administrator has access to this information and can use it to collect feedback on the quality of media that is flowing in the system. This includes user IP addresses.
Choice/Control: QoE is turned on by default, but the enterprise administrator must install a Monitoring Server, connected to a Monitoring Server backend database, to collect the QoE data. The enterprise administrator can deploy the standard Monitoring Server reports or create custom reports querying the Monitoring Server database.
