WhatsApp updates privacy policy and requires users to share data with Facebook

 


WhatsApp will work more closely with Facebook in the near future to provide more in-depth data on Facebook-related products. These updates will take effect on February 8. If users want to continue using WhatsApp, then I’m afraid they have no choice but to accept these updates.


In fact, this update is a continuation of the update terms last July. However, in the past update, WhatsApp has provided users with the option of "not sharing your WhatsApp account information with Facebook." But in the latest update, WhatsApp canceled this option. In other words, as users, if we want to continue using it, we have to obediently accept the new terms and privacy policy. If you agree to the changes, you also need to pay attention to what information WhatsApp will share with Facebook.


According to official releases, the information shared by WhatsApp and Facebook includes user account registration information (such as the user’s phone number), transaction data, other service-related information, how users interact with other people when using Facebook’s services, including Contacts or business interaction data, mobile device device data, user IP address, and other parts that may be included in the privacy policy as "the information we collect", will also be used after notification and user consent data.

WhatsApp has launched a new privacy policy, showing more consistent goals with Facebook, trying to make all services provide users with a more integrated experience. However, when the official claims that these updates may help and provide users with "better" services, such as improving infrastructure and security systems, combating spam, abuse, and infringement activities, being a user may add more privacy Doubts. Facebook’s policies on Messenger, WhatsApp, and Instagram do not seem to be a good phenomenon for the “privacy-centric vision”.
