What information does WhatsApp share with the Facebook Companies?

WhatsApp currently shares certain categories of information with Facebook Companies. The information we share with the other Facebook Companies includes your account registration information (such as your phone number), transaction data (for example, if you use Facebook Pay or Shops in WhatsApp), service-related information, information on how you interact with businesses when using our Services, mobile device information, your IP address, and may include other information identified in the Privacy Policy section entitled ‘Information We Collect’ or obtained upon notice to you or based on your consent.

We limit the information we share with Facebook in important ways. For example, we will always protect your personal conversations with end-to-end encryption, so that neither WhatsApp nor Facebook can see these private messages. We don’t keep logs of who everyone’s messaging or calling and can’t see your shared location so we cannot and do not share this with Facebook. We need your contacts to provide the service, but don’t share your contacts with Facebook. You can learn more about some of these limitations here.
