What it is

The statement authorizes Zoom to share data with advertising and analytics partners who use cookies, pixel tags, and tracking technologies to collect browsing and usage data across Zoom's products and potentially other websites. This data may be used to deliver targeted advertising.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes that Zoom's web and product surfaces involve third-party tracking infrastructure for advertising purposes. California residents have CCPA and CPRA rights to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, and the statement should provide a mechanism to exercise this right.

Change history

modified May 23, 2026

Changed focus from Zoom directly sharing specific data types (identifiers, device information, behavioral data) to describing third-party partners using tracking technologies independently, which is less transparent about direct data sharing practices.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

The agreement authorizes third-party advertising and analytics partners to collect usage and behavioral data through tracking technologies on Zoom's platforms. California residents can opt out of the sharing of personal information for advertising purposes under CCPA, and EU users can manage cookie consent preferences under applicable ePrivacy requirements.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Opt Out of Arbitration
    Access Zoom's cookie and privacy preference settings from the privacy statement page to opt out of advertising data sharing. California residents can use Zoom's 'Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information' link.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

1. REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Advertising data sharing and tracking technology use engages the CCPA and CPRA's 'sale' and 'sharing' provisions for California users, requiring an opt-out mechanism. EU ePrivacy Directive and GDPR require consent for non-essential tracking cookies for EEA users. The FTC has issued guidance on online behavioral advertising that applies to US users. 2. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The presence of third-party advertising tracking on a platform primarily used for business communications may create compliance friction for enterprise customers whose employees access Zoom via web browsers, as advertising trackers may collect behavioral data beyond the scope of what employees or HR teams expect. 3. JURISDICTION FLAGS: California residents have a right to opt out of the sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising under CPRA. EU and EEA users require consent for non-essential cookies. UK users are subject to PECR cookie consent requirements enforced by the ICO. 4. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprises with data use restrictions in their employment contracts or acceptable use policies should assess whether employee Zoom usage on web browsers results in behavioral data collection by advertising partners in a manner inconsistent with those policies. 5. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Organizations should verify that Zoom's cookie consent mechanism is functional and jurisdiction-appropriate for their user population. California-resident users should be made aware of their opt-out rights under CPRA. Compliance teams should review whether advertising data flows are disclosed in internal data inventories.
