Consumer impact (what this means for users)

The agreement asserts that Zoom owns all telemetry, product usage, and diagnostic data generated through use of the services and software, meaning users retain no ownership interest in this category of data. Where Service Generated Data can be linked to identifiable individuals, applicable data protection law such as GDPR may nonetheless limit how that data can be processed, regardless of the ownership assertion.
