> Thank you for your message. Please read this article to learn more about objecting to the processing of your personal information: https://faq.whatsapp.com/1285115568956956/?helpref=uf_share

The page says:

``` How can I submit an objection?

If you're living in the European Region or in the UK, you can submit an objection to such processing of your personal information with this form and select "How can I make an objection to the processing of my information." Please provide your email address and WhatsApp phone number so we can process your request.

You will then be asked for the following information by email:

- What information processing you are objecting to: the processing activities carried out by WhatsApp on the basis of legitimate interests are listed above

- How this processing impacts you; under the GDPR and the UK GDPR, you have a right to object on grounds relating to your particular situation. This is important for us to be able to review and assess your objection. This is why we ask you to explain how the processing affects you (such as what rights and freedoms you believe are impacted by the processing and why)

- Any additional information you believe will help us review your objection (optional)

We may ask you for more information if your request is incomplete. ```

So yeah, obviously they don't want to tell me what would be a valid request from my end.

If they do, yes. But somehow I doubt it...
