Redacting personal data in Zoom Contact Center
Zoom Contact Center admins can enable a feature to automatically redact consumers’ personal data from voice, video recordings and transcripts and messaging engagements that are in English. If enabled, Zoom Contact Center will analyze recordings and transcripts, then identify Personal Data Entities and replace it with generic placeholder text. Redacted data can’t be viewed by anyone.
For example, if a voice engagement contains a phone number like (123)-123-1234, it will replace it with [PHONE] in the transcript, and silence the audio portion of the recording that contains that data.
Note: Redacting personal data is separate from the following features, which apply to different areas of Zoom Contact Center and have different use cases.
Prerequisites for redacting personal data
- Account owner or admin privileges; or relevant role/privilege
- Zoom Contact Center license
Important: Due to predictive nature of machine learning algorithm that is used in this feature, Zoom Contact Center cannot guarantee 100% accuracy when detecting personal data. Users of this feature are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the redaction results.
How to enable or disable personal data redaction
You can enable or disable the feature at the account or queue level. If the account setting is unlocked, the queue level setting takes precedence over account settings.

Note: When you use the redaction feature, please keep in mind there are factors outside of Zoom’s control that may impact the effectiveness of the redaction process, including the following:
- Audio Quality: the accuracy of redaction is significantly dependent on the audio quality of any recording. Poor recording quality, background noise, or garbled speech may affect the tool’s ability to correctly identify and redact Personal Data.
- Voice Clarity: the clarity of the speaker’s voice is essential for precise identification of information to be redacted. In cases where the speaker’s voice is unclear or distorted, the tool's accuracy may be affected.
- Contextual Analysis: the redaction feature employs automated technology to detect and redact Personal Data. However, due to the predictive nature of machine learning, it may not identify and remove all instances of Personal Data in recordings and transcripts from voice, video, and messaging engagements.
While this feature is intended to be a helpful tool, users of this feature are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the redaction results.
