[kictanet] WhatsApp to Move Ahead with its Privacy Updates

[Barrack Otieno]

Hi Mwara,

Many thanks for leading todays discussion, how does Whatsapp plan to ensure
that  it complies with local Data Protection Laws with respect to Data
Minimization? I am also keen to know which measures will be taken to ensure
that the data collected is accurate for those who may need the data for
business purposes.

Regards
