An Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) investigation into WhatsApp’s decision to share customer data with Facebook has confirmed initial concerns that personal information is not being properly handled. The UK’s information commissioner, Elizabeth Denham, said in an official company blog that consumers have been left in the dark about this development.
“I had concerns that consumers weren’t being properly protected, and it’s fair to say the enquiries my team have made haven’t changed that view,” she said.
