WhatsApp, the world’s most popular encrypted chat application, surprised its users in January when it announced it was modifying its privacy policy to allow parent company Facebook to collect more data about how its users interact with businesses.

While the new privacy policy went into effect around the world on May 15, the company has reportedly extended the update for some users.
