WhatsApp does say in the privacy policy that if you use features like Status, profile photo, etc, they collect this information.Īccording to the existing privacy policy, WhatsApp does share information such as “account registration information (such as your phone number), transaction data, service-related information, information on how you interact with others (including businesses) when using our Services, mobile device information, your IP address,” with Facebook. I don’t use the Status feature, which is more like Stories on Instagram and FB Messenger. It also includes my text based Status on WhatsApp. My report includes the current profile photo that I used for the account as well. Why does WhatsApp keep my profile photo and status ? Is this being shared with Facebook? Must read: Explained: How private is WhatsApp, what can Facebook see and should you look at alternatives? In fact, if it was keeping a track of this information, the files would have been considerably heavier, considering how often I rely on the feature. There was no call log data in either of the files. No, WhatsApp has already clarified it does not keep a tab of call logs. What about data on calls logs? Does WhatsApp keep a track of who I call and at what time? These are for WhatsApp Payments, which has its own privacy policy. It also talks about the Consumer Payments Terms of Service and whether a user has accepted these and the exact time when it was accepted. It also mentions whether one accepted the 2018 terms of terms, and in my case it says No. It also has details on whether you opted out of data sharing last time. WhatsApp’s report also includes a list of blocked contacts, your privacy settings, the device you are using, the registration time, etc.įurther, the data set includes whether you accepted the 2016 Terms of Service, which was the first time that Facebook data sharing was introduced. It also includes a list of the all numbers you have blocked and whether you have Read Receipts turned on. It also has your settings for the app, including the privacy settings for Last Seen, Profile Photo, About Privacy and Status Privacy. The list includes all contacts with whom you would have chatted on WhatsApp, and only the mobile phone numbers are mentioned. It also has the exact time when you set the current profile photo and the current status message. It contains your account information such as Phone number, the name attached to the account, the profile photo you currently have for WhatsApp, the device you are using, the time when you have been online, all your contacts, all group names of which you are a part of, the device type, the IP address, device build number, device manufacturer, details of the web/desktop version and the platform which is used for WhatsApp Web, your Status. The JSON file has all the contact numbers, your status, your groups mentioned, though the format will be confusing to many users. The HTML file has all the details and is easier to read.
