Zoom

Zoom claims that it does not sell any personal information. Zoom provides personal data to third parties, including third-party marketing and advertising (subject to prior consent where required under applicable law). These third-party partners may receive information about your activities on Zoom’s website through third-party cookies placed on Zoom’s website. Zoom may also share personal data with actual or prospective acquirers, their representatives and other relevant participants during any negotiation of sales, merger, or similar. Therefore, the data collected now could potentially be transferred to the other entity with different practices, without prior consent. Zoom collects user consent for tracking cookies on its web page and app.

The company mentions clear criteria to define retention periods, promises to not store data for longer than needed to offer services or as required by law. Hosts of Zoom calls can password-protect saved calls, password-protect meetings, lock a meeting to prevent new participants, turn on/off enter and exit chimes, mute participants on the call and even remove participants from the call. All Zoom participants have the ability to annotate the video of a call, but only hosts can clear all annotations and disable annotation for everyone. In the paid version, Zoom hosts are able to record meetings, with the option of saving the recording locally to their hard drive or remotely to Zoom's cloud.
