**Description**  
I received an email from Zoom stating the following:

> ### Privacy update: Published OAuth apps only
> 
> As part of our continuous efforts to protect user privacy, Zoom is requiring all developers to attest to how user data is processed. Your app/integration’s technical design document (TDD) must be updated to include this information. It is important that you submit an updated TDD with complete answers to the data privacy questions by **November 5, 2023**. Failure to update your TDD by this deadline will result in the suspension of your app/integration from the Zoom App Marketplace.

Does this mean that in order to develop an internal tool using the Web SDK + Oauth, it is required to publish the app?

Currently the app is not published and doesn’t need to or should not be published.

Will my app stop working unless I publish it?

Hello @daniel2 Can you confirm if all the apps on your account are not published if you received this email it means there is a published app you receiving this for. If you do not please disregard. Only published apps can be suspended.

Regards, Kwaku
