The client thinks Microsoft is still there
The web server keeps an access log with IP address, time, requested path, status code and user agent. It is kept for seven days and then deleted, and it exists to recognise attacks and faults - nothing else is derived from it.
The site sets no cookies, loads nothing from third parties, and runs no scripts. There is no tracking, no analytics and no embedded content from anywhere else. Nothing is sent to anyone.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, the legitimate interest in operating the service securely.
Accounts, mailboxes and the proxy are a different matter - they process what you entrust to them to work at all. What is stored there, for how long, and who can see it, is set out in the account centre before an account is created.
Access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and data portability, and the right to complain to a supervisory authority. The contact page says where to send such a request.
The site runs on the operator's own hardware in Germany, on the operator's own network. No hosting provider and no content delivery network is involved, so no data reaches a third party through them.
