The surprise is of course with the WhatsApp application which is one of the three worst companies for of of its users. So if you are worried about it of your data, you should think again before using WhatsApp again.eff

EFF evaluates companies in five key criteria including:

Here are the best practices of the Industry
They let users know about any government requests for data
Reveal their Data Retention Policies
They reveal the content of government content removal requests.
Their Public Policy opposes backdoors

The EFA reviewed 24 as a whole, including WhatsApp, which was found to be one of the worst in protecting its users' data.

Google and Microsoft have also earned just three stars each, which is not so flattering for companies claiming to be strict guardians of your personal data.
