Certain applications collecting more data from users than is immediately apparent.
Abstract:

Excerpt:
Consumer Reports has analyzed the privacy policies of Google Meet, Mircosoft Teams, and WebEx and discovered that they may be collecting more data than many people realize.
To be clear: Consumer Reports isn't saying that these apps are unsafe to use. (Indeed, a seperate Mozilla report found that nearly every major videoconferencing app meets basic security standards.) But by agreeing to the privacy policies of these services, you are giving companies like Google and Microsoft access to plenty of personal data. According to the report, al three companies reserve the right to collect information from your calls, including how lng a call lasts, who's participating in the call, and the IP addresses of everyone taking part.
