"I am altering the deal. Pray I do not alter it any further."

My company pays for zoom, presumably we agreed to some form of terms before this change. Is this the same TOS for paid accounts too?



I think so, given that it mentions the case of the client being a paying customer:

> 31.3 Data Processing Addendum. If you are a business, enterprise, or education account owner and your use of the Services requires Zoom to process an End User’s personal data under a data processing agreement, Zoom will process such personal data subject to Zoom’s Global Data Processing Addendum.

Though it limits the scope of the data collection: https://explore.zoom.us/docs/doc/Zoom_GLOBAL_DPA.pdf


To some extent, I don't know how much I care. This is my employers problem, not mine.

Where it actually starts to bother me is when I need to use a platform like Zoom for a job interview. Now I'm forced to download this spyware onto my personal computer and forced to consent to a whole bunch of things I would rather not consent to, as a private individual, rather than as a representative of my employer.


I've never had to install their application on my machine. The web version performs works well for me, if anything it performs better than their app ever did.


That's a question for you company's legal department, not HN
