WhatsApp's New Privacy Policy: Should You Accept It?

 



As you know that Facebook owned WhatsApp has given time till 15 may which over today. So now what if you don't accept this policy? what will possibly happen? what will be the effect?

So simple answer to these question is the whatsapp service will STOP for people/user who don't accept this new policy like you will receive new messages, calls etc. but you can't able to read messages , check who called you etc. These services will resume once you accept the new policy and still after certain number of days you don't accept policy then your whatsapp account will be disabled(delete) permanently as the user is not using it.
So should you accept it. Well the choice is completely yours to make after all its your account.

Why this policy?



Well as you know that Facebook buys whatsapp so company wants to integrate this application to Facebook messenger so that you can easily connect on whatsapp via Facebook  messenger. The source of profit for Facebook is ads like the relevant ads shown on your Facebook, Instagram profile. So basically this policy is also specifically for showing ads based on your chats with businesses. As you know that there is two whatsapp variants one is for normal users and other is for businessman. 

Why this policy is make a big noise on Internet?



Well its because when Facebook announces this new policy first people feel that they loose their privacy if they accept this policy. People from last year are become very concerned about their privacy

Facebook assures users that after the policy is accepted by user no personal data is collected "BUT" the chats done with businesses will be collected(not the chats but information regarding business) apart from this data some basic data is also collected like the time at which you use whatsapp most, the device you use etc. 

Is it "SAFE"?



Facebook is one of the biggest tech company and also ensures the security of its users. Due to the new policy many people think that the policy is not safe as it may collected the data including your personal data. Well this all things are fake as Facebook mention multiple times that the collected data doesn't include any personal data.

Also many company (signal, telegram) took advantages and also gains users just because whatsapp issues new policy and users must accept it to be able to able to use whatsapp.


Facebook also answers petition to Indian govt that many apps like Zomato, Ola, Arogya setu take data of user. Its not personal data Afcose but its your data. Just open google playstore search for ola, Zomato or any app ,open it, go to about the app, scroll down to end and you can see which data is collected and by which permission.

At the end all I can say is its entirely upto you to accept or not accept the new policy. You can switch to different app like telegram or signal but just think for a minute are you sure about these about these companies because whatsapp proves a dominator for so many  year and suddenly just because some people say that whatsapp is not safe and you believe it. I'm will never said that the whatsapp is 100% safe but its the safest private messaging app available. whatsapp only survives in market because of its users and WhatsApp will not want to lose his position.
