WhatsApp has rewritten its privacy policy for European users after being handed a record €225 million fine by Irish data protection regulators earlier this year.
The new policy, published on Monday, includes more detail about how the Meta-owned company collects and uses customer data, how it is stored and when it is deleted.
The messaging service also said it had added more detail on "why we share data across borders," as well as the legal bases for processing users' information.
WhatsApp users in the European Union and United Kingdom will receive a notification directing them to the updated information, but will not have to take any other action.
"This update does not change the way we operate our service, including how we process, use or share your data with anyone, including our parent company Meta," WhatsApp said.
