Challenge to Whatsapp Privacy Policy: Justice Prathiba Singh recuses – Bar & Bench – Indian Legal News
The petition, preferred by Advocate Chaitanya Rohilla, has claimed that the new privacy policy of Whatsapp absolutely violates the Right to Privacy guaranteed under Part III of the Constitution of India.
The new policy “virtually gives a 360-degree profile into a person’s online activity“, without any “government oversight“, the petitioner has asserted.
It is the petitioner’s concern that the updated privacy policy “takes away the choice” of a user to not share their data with other Facebook-owned apps and third-party apps.
