End-to-End Encryption","level":2,"text":"**WhatsApp** uses **end-to-end** **encryption** for **messages**: only the **sender** and **recipient** can read the **content**. **WhatsApp** (and **Meta**) do not have the **keys** to **decrypt** **conversations**. This protects **customer** **data** (e.g. **order** **queries**, **support** **replies**, **personal** **details**) from **third** **parties** and **unauthorized** **access**. For **B2C** **communication**, **encryption** helps **customers** feel **safe** sharing **information** and helps **business**es meet **privacy** expectations. **Backups** (e.g. **cloud** **backup**) may be **encrypted** by **WhatsApp** or the **device**; **business**es using the **API** typically **store** **conversation** **data** in their own **systems** under their **security** **policy**. **End-to-end** **encryption** applies to **messages** in **transit** and on **device**; **business**es should still **follow** **data** **protection** **laws** for **stored** **conversations** in **CRM** or **inbox**. For **B2C** **brands**, this means **encryption** protects **order** **updates**, **support** **replies**, and **personal** **details** in **transit**; for **stored** **data** (e.g. **chat** **history** in your **inbox**), apply **retention** **policies** and **access** **controls** in line with **GDPR** or **local** **regulations**.

Platform Security and Infrastructure","level":2,"text":"**WhatsApp** runs on **Meta**’s **infrastructure** with **security** **measures** such as **secure** **servers**, **access** **controls**, and **monitoring** for **abuse**. **Business** **accounts** (App and **API**) are **verified** and **linked** to **phone** **numbers** or **business** **profiles**, which reduces **spam** and **fake** **accounts**. **B2C** **communication** benefits from this **platform** **security**: **customers** can **trust** that they are talking to the **business** and that **messages** are **delivered** **securely**. **API** **access** is **authenticated** (e.g. **tokens**, **credentials**) so only **authorized** **platforms** and **agents** can send and receive **messages** on behalf of the **business**.

Control Over Data and Templates","level":2,"text":"With the **WhatsApp** **Business** **API**, **business**es **control** how **messages** are sent: **templates** are **approved** before use, **automation** is **configured** by the **business**, and **conversation** **data** can be **stored** in the **business**’s **CRM** or **inbox** under their **data** **governance**. **B2C** **communication** stays **safe** when **business**es **choose** a **platform** that **stores** **data** in line with **privacy** **policy** and **regional** **laws**, and that does not **share** **customer** **data** with **third** **parties** beyond what is **necessary**. **Retention** **policies** (how long **messages** are **kept**) can be **set** by the **business**; **platforms** like Spoki support **compliant** **storage** and **access** **controls** so **agents** see only what they need.
