Zoom updated its Privacy Statement with several clarifications and operational changes. The company added explicit language stating it will not share mobile opt-in data or consent collected through text messaging campaigns with third parties except as necessary to provide the messaging service or as required by law. Zoom also updated its EU and UK data protection representatives, expanded its description of data transfer mechanisms beyond standard contractual clauses to include other lawful frameworks, clarified that users can submit data subject access requests by phone, and added language offering to direct users to their local data protection authorities.
