Answering your questions about WhatsApp’s Privacy Policy (opens in new tab)

There is an additional FAQ page for european users [0]

Via Tweet from Niamh Sweeney, Director of Policy for WhatsApp, EMEA [1]. >It has been incorrectly reported that WhatsApp's latest Terms of Service and Privacy Policy update requires users in the European Region to agree to the sharing of data with Facebook for ads purposes in order to continue using the service. This is false.

I always assumed that Whatsapp keeps the logs of call / messaging (i.e who texted to whom, how many times etc), however according to the this document, it does not keep them. Moreover, it does not share neither group information nor contacts. If this is really the case, it is quite better than most people think. I just wonder, though, why do they need to keep EU out of this latest ToS update and what does Whatsapp share with Facebook?
