Mint Chennai
|December 16, 2025
The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) on Monday clarified that WhatsApp must take user consent before sharing data with Metacompanies for both advertising and non-advertising purposes.
A bench led by NCLAT chairperson Justice Ashok Bhushan allowed the Competition Commission of India’s (CCI) plea seeking clarity on the scope of the tribunal’s 4 November ruling. The tribunal made it clear that user consent is mandatory for all the data that WhatsApp collects and shares with it parent company Meta, not just the data used for advertising.
