WhatsApp confirmed New Privacy Policy doesn’t share User Information or Private Data

Most WhatsApp users are concerned about an updated privacy policy going into effect on 8th February 2021. It will supposedly mandate the sharing of sensitive profile information with WhatsApp’s parent company. The key issue is regarding WhatsApp’s data-sharing procedures with Facebook. Now, WhatsApp has updated the FAQ page to its website outlining its stances on user privacy in response to widespread backlash over an upcoming privacy policy update. The company has confirmed that the update has nothing to do with consumer chats or profile data. The change is aimed to outline how businesses who use WhatsApp for customer service may store logs of their chats on Facebook servers. But, a wave of misinformation on social media has resulted in a full-blown WhatsApp backlash that has users fleeing to competitors like Signal and Telegram.https://www.techhound.org/apps/whatsapp-confirmed-new-privacy-policy-doesnt-share-user-information-or-private-data/
