WhatsApp told the Delhi high court that it will put on hold its new privacy policy until India enacts the proposed data protection law.
The company also said it would not compel users to accept new terms, contrary to its recent stance, but will be reminding them about the update to the terms and conditions.
WhatsApp's new privacy policy got the attention of the Competition Commission of India (CCI), which launched an inquiry against it.
Senior advocate Harish Salve, who represented WhatsApp, told a bench of Chief Justice DN Patel and Justice Jyoti Singh that it would also display its updates whenever a user chooses relevant optional features, like communicating with a business receiving support from Facebook.
