#2The Facebook family of companies will still receive and use this information for other purposes such as improving infrastructure and delivery systems, understanding how our services or theirs are used, securing systems, and fighting spam, abuse, or infringement activities.

#3What if I don't have that option in Whatsapp?
Does it mean you can't opt-out after 30 days?

That's how it looks to me. I don't have the option.

#6Are we supposed to congratulate WhatsApp for doing something that should be expected with 1.0? Furthermore, your default is incorrect; sharing info is opt-in.

#8Or... you know... just use something like Telegram that isn't owned by Facebook. Their data-sharing / privacy policy is pretty simple https://telegram.org/privacy
1. Sharing data
We never share your data with anyone. No.

#9I had few enough people who I've communicated with via Whatsapp that I was able to simply delete my account. I hope that means they'll actually purge my data rather than sharing it with Facebook.
This is one of the problems of digital identity--privacy has a latent value. The company you choose to share data with today, may choose choose to share with / merge with a third party in the future.

#10So when you remove that tickbox "Share my account info" - your data still gets shared:
"The Facebook family of companies will still receive and use this information for other purposes such as improving infrastructure and delivery systems, understanding how our services or theirs are used, securing systems, and fighting spam, abuse, or infringement activities."
Never does it say, you won't get ads. But if you share, you will get "improved ads".
Am I reading this right?
