Zoom's updated policy states that all rights to Service Generated Data are retained solely by Zoom. This extends to Zoom's rights to modify, distribute, process, share, maintain, and store such data "for any purpose, to the extent and in the manner permitted under applicable law.", including AI and Machine Learning.

yeah I think it means ... ALL OF IT.

also double sucks because a lot of people have no choice but to use zoom. jobs require it.

[–] chilicheeselies@lemmy.world 36 points 1 year ago

They wont for long if their legal departments see that. We already arent allowed to record meetings with zoom where i work, and are going to teams.

Its the people who lose in this one

If you have to use it for work, it is not your issue, but your employer's.

Still, I will be surprised if zoom will apply this rule to corporate customers.

Yeah, but if you're interviewing for a job, it IS your problem, no?

[–] gelberhut@lemdro.id -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Good point: n this case it is 50/50, I would say. Interview is unlikely, your private discussion. Not sure to what degree interview discussion "belongs" to the interviewing company.

Moreover, if you think that company uses wrong tools, you can simply reject interview.

But doesn't this term of use mean that you don't own anything, zoom owns everything?

[–] gelberhut@lemdro.id 0 points 1 year ago

I think zoom do not want to own everything, it simply wants to be able to use this data to improve their services and stay relevant. Ms teams had a lot of ml bases features already.

But how is this related to the contents of my comment?
