Whatsapp denies rumours of Private data leakage

Washington, Apr 07: The giant social media network Facebook-owned WhatsApp messenger today denied reports that it is keeping track of the messages and said that it collects very little data and every message is end-to-end encrypted.

WhatsApp was responding to concerns by experts that the popular instant messaging service with over 200-million active users in India might not be as secure as being claimed. Questions were also being raised over certain provisions of the user agreement wherein most of its wrongdoings would go un-remedied and unchallenged.

"WhatsApp collects very little data and every message is end-to-end encrypted. Contrary to recent comments in the media, we are not keeping track of the friends and family you have messaged," a WhatsApp spokesperson told PTI.

"The privacy and security of our users is incredibly important to WhatsApp," the spokesperson told PTI in response to a question.

The spokesperson said invite links were an optional feature available to group administrators but it must be used only with trusted individuals.
