‘We have been advised that the highest restrictions will be in place for users that have not verified their age,’ the DPC said.
It is understood that an Irish launch of ads in WhatsApp could be moving forward after plans were previously delayed over data protection concerns.
The Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) has had “ongoing engagement” with WhatsApp Ireland, it said in a statement to SiliconRepublic.com.
“The DPC has made a number of recommendations for improvements. Our understanding is that many of these have been implemented and improvements have been made around transparency.
“We have been advised that the highest restrictions will be in place for users that have not verified their age.”
