What Zoom (Zoom Communications) does with your data
Zoom states it does not train AI models on your meeting content, and face or hand data for video effects stays on your device. What it does document is website ad targeting, third-party ad cookies, affiliate sharing and open-ended retention.
-
Shares your data with partners
Passed to group companies, advertisers or analytics firms you never chose.
What this costs you. Your number and habits travel to companies you have never heard of and never agreed to. This is the step where the spam calls start.

Zoom (Zoom Communications)’s own policy says “Corporate Affiliates: Zoom shares personal information with corporate affiliates, such as Zoom Voice Communications, Inc., to provide integrated and consistent experiences across Zoom products and services”
Our summary shares personal information with corporate affiliates.
-
Builds an advertising profile of you
They watch what you view, tap and buy, and use it to decide which ads you see.
What this costs you. Your attention gets priced. What you hesitate over becomes a bid — and a profile built to predict you is a profile built to persuade you.
Show me where they say that
Zoom (Zoom Communications)’s own policy says “Zoom uses third-party marketing, advertising, and analytics providers: to provide statistics and analysis about how people are using Zoom products and services, including our website; and to provide advertising and marketing for Zoom products and services, including targeted advertising based on your use of our website.”
Our summary uses third-party advertising providers for targeted advertising based on your use of its website.
-
Follows you onto other websites and apps
Their tracking carries on after you leave, through pixels and SDKs embedded elsewhere.
What this costs you. You get recognised on sites that have nothing to do with them. Closing the app does not close the file.

Zoom (Zoom Communications)’s own policy says “These third-party partners may receive information about your activities on Zoom’s website through third-party cookies and similar technologies placed on Zoom’s website.”
Our summary third-party partners receive information about your activity through their own cookies placed on Zoom's website.
-
Keeps your records long-term
Held on after you stop using the service.
What this costs you. Years after you delete the app, the record is still sitting there — and every year it sits there is another year it can leak.
Show me where they say that
Zoom (Zoom Communications)’s own policy says “We retain personal data for as long as required to engage in the uses described in this Privacy Statement, unless a longer retention period is required by applicable law.”
Our summary retention runs as long as the described uses require, with no stated period.
What the policy does not mention
These are uses Zoom (Zoom Communications)’s policy is silent on. Silence is not a promise — it means the document does not say, and we do not infer either way.
- Processes your face or other biometrics
- Trains AI models on your content
Zoom is one app. How many are on your phone?
Most people carry twenty to forty. Add yours and see the total in one screen — how many share your data, profile you for ads, or follow you across the web. Then take it back from all of them at once.

Questions
What does Zoom (Zoom Communications) do with my personal data?
According to Zoom (Zoom Communications)'s own privacy policy, read on 2026-08-13, it discloses 4 of the six uses we track: shares your data with partners, builds an advertising profile of you, follows you onto other websites and apps, keeps your records long-term.
Can I withdraw my consent from Zoom (Zoom Communications)?
Section 6(4) of India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 gives you the right to withdraw consent for processing you agreed to. The Act's substantive provisions commence in stages up to May 2027, so a request made now asks for voluntary compliance and puts the date on record. Processing a company carries out under a legal obligation — such as KYC records the RBI requires — cannot be withdrawn.
Does Zoom (Zoom Communications) track me for advertising?
Yes — Zoom (Zoom Communications)'s published policy discloses this. The exact sentence it is based on is quoted on this page, with the date we read it and a link to the source.
Every use above is one Zoom (Zoom Communications) declared in its own published privacy policy, which we
read on 2026-08-13. Quotes are verbatim; the summary beside each one is ours
and is labelled as ours. Nothing here is inferred.
Saaph.in is a DPDP consent and request management platform operated by Ronin Works
Private Limited. It is a communication facilitator, not your legal or authorised

made today asks for voluntary compliance and records the date you asked.
