Popular messenger WhatsApp threatens users with account blocking for refusing to accept the new terms of use of the application.
On February 8, the popular WhatsApp messenger will enter into force new Terms of Use. Developers are already preparing for the transition and will soon start collecting permissions from users.
The new update to the terms and privacy policy builds on a similar change that WhatsApp announced last July. However, in a previous update, WhatsApp gave users the option to "not provide Facebook with your WhatsApp account information." In the latest update, WhatsApp dropped this option, and users will have to accept the new terms and privacy policy if they want to continue using the messenger.
It is planned that the processing of user data will be carried out differently, in particular, this affects a number of confidentiality obligations. It also adds new options related to the capabilities of additional products, processing information to ensure security, integrity and security. In addition, updates will include new direct links to user settings, Help Center items, and data control methods.
The user can accept the relevant conditions until February 8 or refuse to use the messenger.
