This is a nice statement, but the TOS is the important part, not what this marketing piece says.

> You agree to grant and hereby grant Zoom a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license and all other rights required or necessary to redistribute, publish, import, access, use, store, transmit, review, disclose, preserve, extract, modify, reproduce, share, use, display, copy, distribute, translate, transcribe, create derivative works, and process Customer Content and to perform all acts with respect to the Customer Content.

Yeah, if the TOS says one thing, and a blogpost pinky-promises another, only one of those two actually counts as far as I'm concerned.

Speaking of pinky promises:

> We will not use ... protected health information, to train our artificial intelligence models without your consent.

> We routinely enter into ... legally required business associate agreements (BAA) with our healthcare customers. Our practices and handling of ... protected healthcare data are controlled by these separate terms and applicable laws.

To my understanding there is nothing in the separate terms (BAA) or applicable laws (HIPAA) that actually guarantees this.

I don't want to assume malice but if in good faith I would have expected an updated BAA with an explicit declaration regarding data access and disclosure in a legally-binding fashion rather than a promissory blogpost vaguely referencing laws that don't themselves inherently restrict the use of PHI for training by Zoom.

It would really only require a single term.

They have added:

> Notwithstanding the above, Zoom will not use audio, video or chat Customer Content to train our artificial intelligence models without your consent.

Doesn't the TOS already count as consent?

That is where I am stuck.

Until the TOS clearly says otherwise, as far as I can see, the TOS at least implies this:

1. We will not use your data to train AI without your consent.

2. By accepting these TOS, you give your consent to everything in this long list (which includes training AI).
