Data protection

To ensure that your personal data is protected in the best possible way, we have configured Zoom to be as data-saving as possible.
The configuration is listed below and can be partially overridden by the host.

Participation in meetings

  • All meetings start with the participant video turned off. The video image must be actively turned on by participants.
  • Participants are muted when they enter the meeting.
  • Display of email addresses via watermark is disabled.
  • A password is set by default for all meetings, including participation by phone.
  • Feedback to Zoom at the end of a meeting is disabled.
  • Remote control via screen sharing is disabled.
  • Remote support is disabled.
  • Remote camera control is disabled.
  • Participants can join meetings directly from the browser without installing the Zoom client. Please use the Chrome browser, as other browsers do not support all Zoom features. We recommend using a current version of the Zoom-Client.
  • Notification of the host when participants enter before the host is deactivated.
  • Automatic notification of participants when a meeting is cancelled is disabled.

Technical settings

  • Encryption of all data between the Zoom Cloud, the Zoom Client and the Zoom Room. End-to-end encryption is possible (reduces the range of functions).
  • If only two people are in a meeting, a peer-to-peer connection is established.
  • Sending emails via the Zoom website is disabled.
  • Snapshot in the iOS task toggle function is blurred to hide any confidential information from the snapshot of the Zoom main window. This snapshot is displayed as a preview screen in the iOS task switcher when multiple apps are open.

Data exchange with other services

  • Data sharing with Office 365 is disabled.
  • CDN usage is disabled.

Storage of meeting content

  • Storage of chat communication is possible for participants.
  • Automatic storage of chat communication for the host is disabled.
  • Automatic storage of whiteboard content is prevented.
  • Recording of meetings in the ZOOM Cloud is disabled.
  • Local recording of meetings is possible. If a recording is currently taking place, this is displayed in the Zoom meeting room.
  • Participants must give their consent to record a meeting.
  • Automatic recording at the start of a meeting is disabled.
