In the last few days we have repeatedly reported on WhatsApp's new terms of use. Among other things, we examined the terms of use and questioned general use of WhatsApp
30 days time
Now we keep getting inquiries about whether it is true that as a user you now have 30 days to revoke the data transfer.
A NOTICE. This revocation only applies to data comparison for advertising purposes!
Yes, that's true...
You have 30 days to revoke this data transfer on WhatsApp.
1. Stop it directly
stopping this data transfer immediately when you are asked to agree to the terms of use . To do this, simply click on “ continue reading ” and you will receive the WhatsApp option “ to share information with Facebook for advertising purposes .” Here you can then refuse your consent.
2. Stop it afterwards…
Anyone who has already agreed without hesitation and has now changed their mind now has 30 days to revoke this consent.
To do this, you have to open the “Settings” menu in the top right corner of WhatsApp, then click “Account” and again click “Share my account info”.
Important note about a stupid clause
With this option you can prevent the data from being used for PERSONALIZED ADVERTISING, but not from being shared with Facebook. Here WhatsApp says clearly:
The Facebook group of companies will still receive this information and for other purposes, such as improving infrastructure and delivery systems, understanding how our or their services are used, securing the systems and combating spam, abuse or infringement.
Missed the 30-day deadline?
Anyone who misses this 30-day period no longer has the chance to object to the use.
What happens if I generally disagree?
If you completely disagree with WhatsApp passing on your data to Facebook, then you must not click on “AGREE” at all. The disadvantage of this is that WhatsApp will most likely refuse the service.
