BURG Google Workspace (G Suite)
The BURG owns a Google Pro account with access to Google Workspace where a variety of different services for digital collaboration can be found. For reasons of data economy, we recommend using services that are not provided by our own BURG Box.

Google assures a DSGVO-conform handling of the data and user data which is stored on Google servers located within Europe. This means that the files are located outside the BURG servers and there is therefore a risk of data theft and data loss. For this reason, personal data should not be stored here. Further information on this topic can be found in the article "Secure data backup".
