I advised against Hangouts, and we tried
OpenQwaq with good results, but Hangouts
still emerged as the default.

There are options like Jitsi which you
can run on your own server. Given that
Google has given the boot to open standards
like XMPP Hangouts are not officially Deprecated.
As is G+, and Gmail.

At least you'd know it was one of participants.
The problem with automatic data collection is
that it's large scale, and you have to assume it
happens whenever you're using a corporate service
(because corporations can be strong-armed into
cooperation more easily than volunteers distributed
all over the world.
