WhatsApp’s new Privacy Policy has been challenged by a Writ Petition in the High Court of Delhi, on the grounds that it is “Violative of citizens’ Right to Privacy and threatening to the National Security of India.” The Petition was filed by Advocate Chaitanya Rohilla on 14th January 2021, he noted in his plea that, “the updated Policy gives the Company virtually a 360-degree profile into a person's online activity”. It seeks for the High Court to issue an injunction in respect to the new privacy policy and have the parent company make alterations that fall within the parameters of respecting the user’s Right to Privacy and his choice to not share sensitive information with companies that aim to “utilize the information for their vested interests.” Reddy & Reddy law firm Pune is one of the leading law firms in Maharashtra and deals with matters in a wide range of legal sectors.
