English

Respect for privacy Does the tool require registration? Who can see my data? Can I remain anonymous?

High. 8x8, which operates Jitsi, does not ask for personal information and does not retain any personal data. When it collects data, it uses it to identify and troubleshoot problems and to improve the service. Therefore, Jitsi is one of the most privacy-friendly videoconferencing tools, and its privacy section is written in a straightforward, informative way. Jitsi has an entire website elaborating on the complexities of its security measures, more so given that it is an open-source platform. Overall, these seem satisfactory. Jitsi’s privacy policy does not mention compliance with the GDPR. See more here and here.

Tailorability (If so, how?) Possibility of the tool to be used for a range of different activities (e.g. to what extent you can organize a project assignment with a central activity based on this tool)
