“In the coming weeks, we’ll display a banner in WhatsApp providing more information that people can read at their own pace,” WhatsApp writes in a blog post. The company said it will notify users of the new privacy policy “in the coming weeks,” and provide more information about the changes before requiring users to agree to the new terms. Both are optional features, and you won't be forced to use them in any case.WhatsApp plans to re-introduce the updated privacy policy that ignited a massive backlash against the Facebook-owned messaging app. If you read all the details above, your privacy and data aren't hampered unless you don't engage with the business accounts that use cloud providers and the Facebook Shop. The bigger picture will bring the argument to an individual choice, but a shorter answer is that it's safe and not a lot will change after accepting. So avoiding the use of Facebook Shop will also keep data related to your behavioural pattern safe.
It is an optional feature available for business accounts. Also, your data (like what you see on the platform) might be shared with Facebook, if you use Facebook Shop.
These special accounts that use tools to manage and store chat can be recognised by a mark at the top of the conversation. Some business accounts do have bad privacy practices, so this is where you have to be very careful if you do care about your privacy. As a precautionary measure, you can always ask for their privacy policy by sending a message before you share any information that can be used to produce targeted ads. What is being shared is also dependent on the privacy policy of the particular business you are engaging with. Chatting with a regular business account is just like how we chat with friends and family but in the case of 'special' business accounts that use cloud providers, there is a possibility of your chat being used to generate targeted advertisements on Facebook. There are two types of business accounts on WhatsApp - a regular business account and a special business account that uses cloud providers. If you don't accept the new terms of service for more than a couple of weeks, you won't be able to receive calls and messages, or anything for that matter, as your app will be completely disabled. send voice messages, stickers and other media within the app.quote messages or tag participants in group chat.forward messages from one chat to other.You can still answer video and voice calls, reply to messages in the first few weeks, but you cannot open the chat list because you'll be welcomed with a pop up reminding you of the new terms of service. Users not complying with the policy haven't lost their current chat history and backup either, But they will be limited to use some of the features. WhatsApp says your account won't be deleted, and as many of you may have seen, those who haven't accepted the new privacy policy are still able to use the app after 3 days since the new policy has come into effect. The new privacy policy is now in effect from May 15. Additional Solicitor General (ASG) Chetan Sharma, appearing for Centre added that the government has written to Facebook’s chief executive Mark Zuckerberg on the issue and a reply is awaited. However, the Centre, in response said the new privacy policies of the app violates the Indian Information Technology (IT) Act, 2000 and asked the social media platform not to bring in any changes for now. There is no universal deadline for this,” senior advocate Kapil Sibal, representing the Facebook-owned company, said. “We are still trying to persuade consumers but if they don’t accept slowly, slowly these accounts will be deleted. It said that the deadline for the policy to come into effect has not been extended, but accounts not complying with the updated policy won't be deleted immediately. WhatsApp on Monday told the Delhi high court that its new controversial privacy policy has not been deferred and came into effect on May 15th. Here’s what happens with those who have not accepted the updated privacy policy.
