What privacy notices do I need for Zoom events?
Under the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, you need to inform participants of virtual sessions about any personal identifiable data you may be taking away from your event.
We've put together two basic privacy notices that you can use, either in advance of your event or at the start of the session...
Verbal version
At [organisation] we want all our training events to be inclusive and safe environments, where all participants can share their experiences and learn together.
We will record some elements of this training session for [training and monitoring purposes/marketing purposes].
Under the Data Protection Act 2018 we believe this to be a legitimate interest. I’ll let you know when I am recording or taking a screenshot. If you’d prefer not to be recorded, you can just let me know and turn off your camera.
After this session, we’ll store any personal data for [insert duration] using secure [cloud storage/servers], after which it will be removed.
If at any time you wish to access this data, in line with your rights under data protection law, please let us know.
