You might consider installing zoom as a snap package[1] instead of a deb. Snaps provide some confinement that, in theory, provide some extra level of security(harder for zoom to spread files all over your system, etc) Alternatively, install the zoom deb package in a chroot[2]. I like to use schroot to help with this kind of thing. Then create a separate dedicated user just for running zoom. That will help limit zoom's access to your normal user's data.
