Whatsapp connects the world! Around two billion people around the world use the messenger service. But Whatsapp is repeatedly criticized for the lack of data protection – only one method can protect your data.
Whatsapp collects your data even when you are not using the app
Even if you are on for data protection reasons Whatsapp waived and deleted the app, the app belonging to Facebook can access your personal data and collect information – of all places via your contacts!
Because if they have saved your date of birth, your place of residence, your e-mail address, etc. in their digital phone book, Whatsapp can simply access them according to the terms and conditions. This is reported by “Business Insider”.
This is how you can protect yourself
Since Whatsapp was granted access to the entire phone book through app use, the whole thing is even completely legal.
