WhatsApp has made changes to its Terms of Service and its Privacy Policy. It has started sending notifications to all WhatsApp users through in-app notifications. WhatsApp seems to have released these updates to better integrate with other products and services offered by Facebook.
WhatsApp recently announced that it is updating its Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. This message has been sent to Android and iOS users. As for changes, WhatsApp’s updated Privacy Policy and Terms of Service provide additional information on how the application collects and handles user data.
The app also has new sections including Transactions and Payments data and location information to provide details on accurate data collection. WhatsApp also includes specific information about business interactions that take place through its messaging app. WhatsApp’s update will take effect on February 8. Users will have to accept these terms and changes to use their WhatsApp accounts after February 8th.
This means that if a user does not accept the new changes, they will lose access to the application. It is noteworthy that the mandatory nature of these new privacy rules was first discovered in December by tracker BetaInfo.
One of the most significant changes in both of these updated privacy policies and terms of service refers to how WhatsApp shares information with Facebook and its affiliates.
According to WhatsApp, the information we share with other Facebook companies includes your account registration information (such as phone number), transaction data, information about the service, information about how you interact with others (including businesses) when using our services, mobile device Information Your IP address, and the ‘Information We Collect’ section of the Privacy Policy section, which identifies or notifies you, or any other information obtained on your consent. Prior to the latest update, existing users were given the option to choose not to share their WhatsApp account information on Facebook.
However, this time it seems that will not be the case. Similarly, WhatsApp has also updated its website. It provides people with detailed information on exactly what changes have been made.
