What plans to make whatsapp
Messenger will share data about users with Facebook. Failure does not accept, the only opportunity to avoid the openness of personal information is to block the profile in WhatsApp. What will pass:

- transaction information;
- service and personal information of any type;
- information about interaction with users, companies;
- information about the device from which exit in WhatsApp;

That is, everything that is in whatsapp smoothly floats in Facebook. And this is despite the fact that Facebook has repeatedly appeared in privacy courts as a defendant. The situation is unpleasant, but almost hopeless.
Why is it necessary Facebook and WhatsApp
As explained on the official website of companies: "Measure is necessary for better integration with all the products of the information space." The application will be updated in automatic mode, the offers for users will begin to act since the update.
Where all all began
The data exchange offer is completed, which began in 2014, when Facebook bought a messenger. In that distant year, WhatsApp promised users the preservation of personal data, not transferring to them to third parties, companies.
Companies suggest that such an exchange of information will improve the quality of the services provided. For example, create proposals aimed at individual consumers, help in choosing objects, shopping, etc.
The application has already updated the privacy policy, the failure is not accepted, the use of the updated software indicates automatic consent. If the user does not agree with the disclosure of information and the transfer of its other company, it has the right to refuse, but only through the removal of the account.

And what will get Facebook and how the integration will end
To the company's credit, Facebook declares that personal encrypted messages will not be touched. But it saves few users, because the account data will still be "in sight." Facebook takes a course on the role of an open censor, so you can forget about the secret of correspondence forever.
The fact that Facebook is fighting against Chinese messengers and is trying to preserve the dominant position of the social network, affiliated with the American services, knows each user. Data transfer is the last stage of the integration of WhatsApp to the global world system of digital surveillance.
