After a change to its terms of service sparked privacy concerns among users, WhatsApp on Monday clarified that its new policy doesn't affect the privacy of people's messages with friends or family.

The messenger app, which sells itself as a privacy focused service, will next month force its users to agree to let Facebook and its subsidiaries collect their personal data on WhatsApp , including phone numbers and locations.

If users don't accept the new terms and conditions by February 8, they will be kicked off the app.
