The controversial new conditions of WhatsApp

In fact, the platform this week sent a message to its users in which it explains that there will be three changes that will be applied in their update and that concern the processing of user data.

With this, it is clarified that companies may use the data stored in the application as well as Facebook, so both applications will be integrated to manage the information of its users.

It will be from February 8 of this year when the new terms and conditions of WhatsApp will come into force, which are the following:

– “The WhatsApp service and how we treat your data”
– “How companies can use Facebook’s hosted services to store and manage their WhatsApp chats”
– “How we partner with Facebook to offer integrations in the products of Facebook companies”

In this way, WhatsApp will collect contacts, commercial data and other details when using the platform and Facebook, and even the IP or geographic address user.

“Even if you don’t use our location-related options, we use the IP address and other information, such as area codes for phone numbers, to estimate your general location (for example, city and country). We also use your location information for diagnostic and troubleshooting purposes, ”the privacy file notes.

So far it is unknown which vaccine the monarchs received, since it must be remembered that in the United Kingdom the vaccines developed by Pfizer / BioNTech and that of the University of Oxford are being injected together with AstraZeneca. On the other hand, it is also not known when the other members of the royal family will be vaccinated against covid-19. Just a few months ago it was confirmed that Prince Charles, the first-born of Queen Elizabeth II, had tested positive for the coronavirus so he had to isolate himself at his residence in Birkhall, Scotland.
