At the beginning of last year WhatsApp tried to introduce some news on its terms of service, for which a lot of noise was created among its users. Now the European Union wants to see more clearly.
In fact, WhatsAppp has been called into question by the European Commission and by National Consumer Authorities regarding how it manages the personal data of its users. The Commission wants to understand how WhatsApp intends to remain compliant with European regulations on the protection of personal data in light of recent changes to its terms of service.
Furthermore, the Commission also said concerned about the exchange of personal data that WhatsApp applies with third-party companies and with companies that are part of Half.
As reported by Didier Reynders , European Commissioner for Justice, WhatsApp should “ ensure that users understand what they accept and how their personal data is used, in particular when it is shared with business partners “. The Commission has given WhatsApp time until the end of February to respond with concrete action plans.
