Zoom has significant operations in China, including a research and development department with more than 700 staff, which it has cast as a bid to keep personnel costs low. <\/p>\n
Until now it has sought to reassure western critics who have privacy concerns \u2014 including that meetings may be vulnerable to spying from Beijing \u2014 that their data was not routed through Chinese servers.<\/p>\n
On Thursday the company had told the Financial Times that \u201cdata originating in the US stays in the US, and cross-border meeting data goes to wherever the host\u2019s enterprise account is headquartered\u201d.<\/p>\n
Zoom floated in April last year and now has 200m daily active users, up from 10m at the end of year. Its shares have nearly doubled in 2020, although they are trading down 20 per cent from highs last week at $128.20. <\/p>\n
The China revelations are the latest in a litany of concerns about the data security practices of the company, which on Thursday committed to shifting all its engineering resources to tackling privacy issues. <\/p>\n
Mis-steps revealed in recent days include undisclosed data sharing, features that allowed users to harass other users, and misleading statements about its encryption capabilities \u2014 all of which it has sought to address with technology or policy updates.<\/p>\n
It also announced plans to prepare a transparency report about any data requests it has received from governments, following pressure from privacy advocacy groups.<\/p>\n
Friday\u2019s statement was prompted by new research from Citizen Lab, which found that in some cases, Zoom\u2019s encryption keys \u2014 the code used to unscramble meetings data \u2014 appeared to be being sent to servers in Beijing. <\/p>\n
\u201cA company primarily catering to North American clients that sometimes distributes encryption keys through servers in China is potentially concerning, given that Zoom may be legally obligated to disclose these keys to authorities in China,\u201d Citizen Lab said. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
