WhatsApp has told the Delhi High Court that it will not force users to accept their new 'privacy' policy.

The US-based social networking site WhatsApp recently announced a change in its 'privacy' policy regarding personal information security. Accordingly, it was announced that 'user information will be shared with the parent company, Facebook'. The case was taken up in the Delhi High Court.

When the case came up for hearing today, senior lawyer Harris Salve, appearing for WhatsApp, said: "We are suspending the new 'privacy' policy. We will not force users to accept this policy. For those who do not accept this, we will not reduce the service provided. Until the Information Security Act comes into force, we will show users the message about the new policy. We have reported the matter to the Central Government. Thus he said.
