Will WhatsApp’s New Terms of Service Share Data with Facebook?
No, WhatsApp’s new terms of service do not share data with Facebook. WhatsApp is owned by Facebook, but the two services remain separate. WhatsApp has always been committed to protecting user privacy, and that commitment is still the same. The new terms of service do not mean that WhatsApp will start sharing user data with Facebook or any other company. Instead, the new terms of service help explain how businesses can use our services to store and manage their messages. The new terms are designed to give businesses more control over their communications and to help them comply with applicable laws. WhatsApp will continue to protect the privacy of personal conversations and will not share any user data with Facebook or any other third party for the purpose of targeting ads. WhatsApp also does not store messages in the cloud and does not share user data with Facebook for the purpose of product improvement or advertising.
