Gore a more detailed analysis see this English post: https://protonmail.com/blog/zoom-privacy-issues/
For videoconferences without the "original sound" feature of Zoom, I recommend: Jitsi for use with Chrome browser or Jitsi app. Conference servers are available here: https://meet.jit.si or https://meet.ffmuc.net
Update 2: Zoom reacted immediately and removed the data sharing feature from the iOS app with an update, see the announcement here.
