Privacy Policy

** Effective: 2026-06-22 ** Last updated: 2026-06-22

1. Scope and responsible entities

1.1 This Privacy Policy explains how TeamSpeak Systems, Inc., PO Box 211180, Chula Vista, CA 91921, USA ("TeamSpeak USA"), and TeamSpeak Systems GmbH, registered seat: Krün, District of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, business address: Wilhelmstraße 21, 74072 Heilbronn, Germany, registered with the Local Court of Munich under HRB 172523 ("TeamSpeak DE"), process personal data in connection with TeamSpeak websites, myTeamSpeak accounts, TeamSpeak clients, server-related services, add-ons, licensing services, support, community features, mobile applications, software development kits and related services (together, the "Services").

1.2 Depending on the specific Service, TeamSpeak USA and TeamSpeak DE may act as independent controllers, joint controllers, processors or service providers under applicable privacy laws. For each TeamSpeak-controlled Service, the applicable controller or controllers and, where relevant, the contracting entity are identified in the relevant order process, product notice, service documentation, privacy notice, customer center entry or agreement. Where TeamSpeak USA and TeamSpeak DE jointly determine the purposes and means of processing, they act as joint controllers and have agreed their respective responsibilities for data subject requests, information duties, security, retention and supervisory authority communications. The essence of this arrangement is made available in the relevant Service-specific notice or upon request. Privacy requests may be addressed to TeamSpeak at privacy@teamspeak.com or to the external Data Protection Officer identified below, and TeamSpeak will coordinate the response internally.

1.3 This Privacy Policy applies to TeamSpeak-controlled Services. Independent TeamSpeak servers, communities, websites, hosting providers and third-party integrations may be operated by third parties. Their own privacy terms apply to their independent processing. TeamSpeak processes data for such environments only to the extent described in this Privacy Policy or in the applicable service documentation.

1.4 If a specific Service is governed by a separate privacy notice, product notice, data processing agreement or enterprise agreement, that document supplements this Privacy Policy and prevails for the specific Service where it is more specific.

2. Privacy-first principles

2.1 TeamSpeak follows a privacy-first approach. This means that TeamSpeak seeks to collect only data that is necessary for the relevant Service, to avoid unnecessary monitoring of communications, to separate optional analytics from essential functionality and to provide transparent controls for user choice.

2.2 In typical self-hosted voice-server use, TeamSpeak does not operate the server selected by the user and does not listen to or record voice communications. Where TeamSpeak-hosted, account-based, cloud, community, licensing, support or messaging features are used, TeamSpeak may process account data, metadata, user content and technical data as necessary to provide, secure and improve those features.

2.3 TeamSpeak does not require registration merely to download or use certain client software unless a specific feature, subscription, account, license, hosted service or community function requires an account.

2.4 TeamSpeak does not sell personal data for money. If a specific technology or disclosure is deemed a "sale" or "sharing" under California privacy law, TeamSpeak provides the legally required opt-out mechanism and respects legally recognized opt-out preference signals where required.
