nactive Accounts: Automated Deletion

[badsha0016]

WhatsApp also has a policy for automatically deleting inactive accounts. Generally, WhatsApp accounts of inactive users are deleted after 120 days of inactivity. This policy aims to protect user privacy, maintain security, and minimize data retention for accounts that are no longer in use.

To prevent your account from being automatically deleted, you need to keep your phone connected to the internet and actively use the app.

Law Enforcement Requests and Data Disclosure
Despite its strong stance on end-to-end encryption for message content, WhatsApp, as a company, is subject to legal processes and receives requests for user data from government agencies worldwide.

Key Points Regarding Law Enforcement Requests:

Content Inaccessibility: WhatsApp cannot and does not produce the content paraguay phone number list of its users' messages in response to government requests due to end-to-end encryption.
Metadata Disclosure: However, WhatsApp does scrutinize every government request and may disclose non-content information that is narrowly tailored to respond to the request, if available. This can include:
Basic Subscriber Information: Name, service start date, last seen date, IP address, device type, and email address.
Account Information: "About" information, profile photos, group information, and contacts list (though the contact list itself is typically hashed and not directly accessible in a readable format by WhatsApp).
No Message Logs: In the ordinary course of providing its service, WhatsApp does not store message logs once messages are delivered or transaction logs of such delivered messages.
