Security ≠ Privacy. Several of their "minimum standards" seem odd to me.
Does it have a privacy policy?
I don't really care about a product's privacy policy; I care about what's in the policy!
Do you have to create a strong password?
It makes little sense to avoid a product because they let you set a four character password. Just use a longer password! (If they have a maximum length or some such, that's of course a different story.)
Does it get regular software/firmware updates?
Updates can be a good sign, I guess, but as with the privacy policy, doesn't it matter more what's in those updates? Zoom gets regular updates, but that doesn't make more confident in the software—at all.
