What is Zoom Video Settlement
This class action is called In re: Zoom Video Communications, Inc. Privacy Litigation, Case No. 3:20-cv-02155-LB and has been approved by the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The Plaintiffs in this case claim certain theories of alleged wrongful conduct by Zoom. These theories include:
- Unauthorized sharing of users’ information with third parties through incorporation of software development kits (SDKs) in the Zoom application.
- Unauthorized sharing of users’ information with third parties through the third-party developers’ employment of apps that can be installed and run on the Zoom platform (known as “marketplace apps”).
- Failure to prevent unwanted meeting disruptions by third parties, and (4) misrepresentations that Zoom provided end-to-end encryption at a time when Plaintiffs allege Zoom did not. Plaintiffs claim that such alleged conduct violated California state and federal laws.
Zoom however denied these allegations.
