We have spent a long time in which the developers of Whatsapp have not modified any terms of service and the privacy policy of the most used instant messaging platform in the world.
Since Facebook bought Whatsapp, we all imagined that this day would come and it has. The messaging app will share your mobile number with the social network Supposedly they will do so to test " alternative communication between users and businesses in the coming months." The information has been released on the blog of Whatsapp and if you click HERE,you can read it.
According to the company, these changes are also aimed at improving advertising effectiveness by serving ads that are more relevant to the user of Facebook and suggestions to connect with known people and, on the other hand, combat abuse and unwanted messages in WhatsApp.
The fear we all have with this change in terms of service and privacy policy is that we will be bullied and have our data shared with Facebook's affiliates.
WILL WE SEE ON WHATSAPP?
At the moment they inform us that we won't see it on Whatsapp,but if we dig a little we can find this writing
That "Still" means that in the future they will allow companies to enter your Whatsapp account.
Surely our way of using Facebook will be analyzed,the profiles and pages you visit on the social network.With this, ads that may interest us will appear. The "good" thing about this is that we can configure if we want to receive this type of message or not. We will wait and see how the theme works.
WILL YOU SHARE OUR DATA TO OTHER COMPANIES?
The following writing makes clear the position on the matter:
The point is that from now on, all users of Whatsapp will receive a notification telling us that we must accept the new Terms of Service and the WhatsApp Privacy Policy, in the next 30 days if we want to continue using the application.
