By default, transport encryption (similar to https) is activated for all Zoom conferences. This guarantees that the conference content is protected from strangers (hackers) during transmission between participants and Zoom servers. However, the operators of the Zoom servers can view the data. The University of Paderborn's campus license is operated by a German company (Deutsche Telekom), to which European data protection law directly applies. The US manufacturer has access to parts of Zoom, which are contractually regulated and limited, but cannot be excluded.
By activating the so-called end-to-end encryption (E2EE - end to end encryption)' in Zoom, the confidentiality of communication can be completely guaranteed. This means that neither the operator of the Zoom campus license (Deutsche Telekom) nor the manufacturer of the software (Zoom in the USA) can access the content of the communication. The disadvantage is that not all zoom functions are fully available when using E2EE and the Zoom client must currently always be used.
In addition to the content of a conference, further data called metadata (IP addresses of participants, device/hardware information, e.g. browser, name and description of the meeting, date, start, duration, number of participants) is generated. These are passed on to Zoom in the USA in every meeting, for example to better localize problems and errors and to generate usage statistics.
For conferences with confidential and personal content, such as job applications or personnel interviews, appointment procedures, senate or presidium meetings, etc., Zoom at the University of Paderborn may only be used after the organizer has considered data protection law and only with activated end-to-end encryption.
Zoom can usually be used in the standard setting for courses, meetings or public events.
