Zoom's iOS app shares data with Facebook even if users don't have an account
The coronavirus pandemic has proved to be a boon for many tech companies and video conferencing software Zoom is one of them. A report now claims that Zoom’s iOS app sends data to Facebook despite the fact some users don’t even have an account on the social media platform. However, many tech experts have said that it is not something unheard of considering the fact that many apps use Facebook’s software development kits to add more features into their apps, which then leads to sending information to Facebook invariably and Zoom uses the software development kit. As per Motherboard, Zoom’s privacy policy states that the app collects data of the user's Facebook profile which can be shared with third parties. Zoom sends a notification to Facebook when the iOS app is opened, they also share the user’s carrier information, his phone’s model name and what city and time zone he's using the app from.
