Zoom explicitly won't use your meeting, chat, or video content to train AI models — a meaningful commitment for a communications platform. But your employer or meeting host can access everything you say, record, and type, and Zoom shares data with advertising and analytics partners. The privacy story is split: strong on AI and content use, weaker on employer surveillance and ad-tech.
