What it is

Personal data shared with third-party apps and integrations installed through the Zoom App Marketplace is governed by those developers' own terms and privacy policies, not by Zoom's Privacy Statement. The range of data that may be shared with approved apps includes account information, contact information, participant lists, meeting content, device information, and third-party emails.

This analysis describes what Zoom's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes that once personal data is shared with third-party apps authorized on a Zoom account, Zoom's Privacy Statement no longer governs that data. The breadth of data categories that may be shared (including meeting content, participant lists, and third-party emails) means that app authorization decisions by account owners have significant downstream privacy implications for all users on those accounts.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

This provision establishes that personal data shared with third-party apps approved by account owners is governed by the developer's own terms and privacy policies rather than Zoom's. Users on accounts where third-party apps are enabled should be aware that their data, potentially including meeting content, contact information, and device information, may be processed under different privacy terms once shared with those apps.
