Hello 🙂

The documentation contains a section on “Secure storage of data”, which lists information that “…should never be logged or stored in cleartext, and should be encrypted at all times when at rest” ([Security](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/publishing/security/#secure-storage-of-data)).  
Among the information, nothing is said about storing data of the zoom meeting entity. Can my application database store meeting id, start\_url, join\_url in cleartext when at rest?

Hey @fokar24507,

Thanks for reaching out to the zoom dev forum! Happy to help you out today.

Yes, you are are able to store meeting data, but values such as start\_url should probably be stored in a secure way since this would allow a person to start a meeting.

I would personally err on the side of more security rather than less.

Let me know if you have any further questions!

Cheers!
