Updated Terms and Services - Significant Privacy Violation
Zoom’s latest updates to its terms of service make data privacy a core issue for the platform. Zoom’s terms of service update effective as of today, Monday 7th August, establishes the video platform’s right to use some customer data for training its AI models. I am holding off on closing my Zoom account (you do you), but I recommend removing any data stored with Zoom immediately. Sections 10.2 and 10.4 of their terms establish Zoom’s rights to compile and utilize “Service Generated Data,” which is telemetry data, product usage data, diagnostic data, and similar content or data that Zoom collects in connection with users’ use of their services or software. They are also securing a “perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license” to redistribute, publish, access, use, store, transmit, review, disclose, preserve, extract, modify, reproduce, share, use, display, copy, distribute, translate, transcribe, create derivative works, and process Customer Content.
