ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) on Wednesday shared the details issued by WhatsApp regarding the new privacy policy for Pakistani users.
In a series of Tweets, the PTA clarified that the information has been "disseminated in good faith as a public service information without any liability whatsoever on the authority as a result of this information".
The PTA stated that the privacy policy will come into effect on February 8, of this year.
"The rationale for the changes in the WhatsApp privacy policy is to make it easier for people to both make a purchase and get help from a business directly on WhatsApp," explained the PTA.
