Facebook To Use Personal Data From WhatsApp To Bring You Personalized Ads

Facebook To Use Personal Data From WhatsApp To Bring You Personalized Ads

Enterprise & IT Aug 25,2016 0

WhatsApp said it would start sharing users' phone numbers with parent Facebook, marking a shift in its stance on privacy. There's no risk of your WhatsApp messages appearing on your Facebook timeline, or status updates being sent to your WhatsApp friends, the companies say -- but they will be sharing more user data behind the scenes in order to better target advertising and suggest new contacts across the two services.

The change in policy, WhatsApp's first since the deal, will allow for more relevant advertisements and friend recommendations on Facebook, according to a WhatsApp blog post.

WhatsApp, however, sought to reassure users by saying that it would not sell, share, or give users' phone numbers to advertisers.

WhatsApp said users could choose not to share account information with Facebook.

The shared data will also help WhatsApp track information about how often people use its services and tackle spam on the service, it said on Thursday.

WhatsApp, which has more than 1 billion users, will also explore ways for businesses to send messages using its platform over the next several months, it said.
