European Union Fines on WhatsApp

M. Ali 3 September, 2021 2:35 am Market Update

The European Union has decided to impose a EUR 225 million fine on WhatsApp, the messaging application owned by Facebook, due to breaching data protection rules.

The EU Data Protection Commission in Ireland decided to impose the fine and require that WhatsApp changes how it explains terms, conditions, and privacy policies to users, to better inform users about how their personal data are being collected and used by WhatsApp and Facebook.

The ruling entails a three-month to better comply with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
