What it is

The statement asserts that Zoom does not use customer-generated meeting content such as audio, video, chat, or transcripts to train Zoom's own AI models or those of third parties. The statement separately discloses that Zoom may use service-generated data, usage data, and telemetry to improve and operate AI-powered features.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes a stated restriction on using meeting content for AI model training, which is directly relevant to enterprise and institutional customers with confidentiality or data use obligations. The distinction between 'customer content' covered by this restriction and other data categories used for AI improvement is a material interpretive boundary that compliance teams should assess against their contractual requirements.

Interpretive note: The distinction between 'customer content' excluded from AI model training and 'service-generated data' used for AI improvement is not precisely defined in the statement, creating interpretive uncertainty about the scope of the training restriction.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Under this clause, the agreement states that meeting audio, video, and chat content will not be used to train Zoom or third-party AI models. However, the terms permit Zoom to use other categories of data, including usage signals and service-generated data, to improve AI features, and users enabling AI Companion features authorize processing of meeting content to generate summaries and outputs.

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
