Both Facebook and WhatsApp have been told to stop collecting and storing data on WhatsApp users in Germany. Hamburg Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information Johannes Caspar ordered Facebook to delete all data that has already been forwarded to WhatsApp since August. Delhi High Court on September 23 ordered WhatsApp to delete users’ data from its servers up until September 25 when the company’s new privacy policy came into effect. WhatsApp users need not worry about the content of their WhatsApp messages, like chats and images, as they are end-to-end encrypted.
