Information Regulator to act on WhatsApp privacy
May 16, 2021NEWS
The Information Regulator has asked for Facebook South Africa and WhatsApp LLC to appear in Parliament to answer questions about its new privacy policies set to take effect this month. The independent body, which falls under the Department of Justice, says there are substantial differences between the privacy policies for WhatsApp users living in Europe compared to those living in other parts of the world.
.On 15 May 2021, WhatsApp will require users to accept new terms and conditions for using the App. The Information Regulator (IR) said it had written to WhatsApp LLC and requested it to revise the privacy policy in South Africa to match it to the standard used in the European Union (EU).
