The messaging service gave its users 30 days till September 25 to opt out of the policy.<\/p>\n<p>The submission was made before a bench of Chief Justice G Rohini and Justice Sangita Dhingra Sehgal, who were hearing a PIL against WhatsApp&#8217;s recent decision to share user data with parent company Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>Senior advocate Siddharth Luthra, appearing for WhatsApp, said there are government regulations in place and the application does not share users private messages, contents, photos or data with Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>He said WhatsApp only shares a user&#8217;s name and the phone number with Facebook. &#8220;WhatsApp does not have access to any data as it provides end-to-end encryption&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We only have access to the person&#8217;s name and number which is also obtained by online consent. We are abiding by the central government&#8217;s regulations for messenger apps. We are not dealing with sensitive information at all,&#8221; Luthra said, adding that &#8220;if any of the user wants to opt out of the new policy, he\/she cannot be forced to not choose that option&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>To this, the court asked WhatsApp to file a short affidavit before September 20 explaining the factual position with regard to the concerns raised in the writ petition.<\/p>\n<p>However, senior advocate Pratibha M Singh, appearing for petitioners Karmanya Singh Sareen and Shreya Sethi, argued the messaging service was sharing the entire data with Facebook even if users opt out of the new policy.<\/p>\n<p>The petitioners, users of the popular instant messaging service, have alleged that WhatsApp, Facebook Inc and Facebook India Online Pvt Ltd&#8217;s new private policy &#8220;compromises the rights of its users&#8221;, which is also a &#8220;very serious breach of policy&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>( Source &#8211; PTI )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Instant messaging platform WhatsApp today opposed in Delhi High Court a plea alleging that privacy of its users has been threatened by a new privacy policy announced by Facebook, saying regulations were in place and the latter does not have access to any data as it provides end-to-end encryption.
