Such information includes, but is not limited to, phone numbers, birthdays, email addresses, or more critical information, such as the chat history of certain individuals. These information (such as phone numbers and chat history) can be sold to other companies. Phone numbers are sold to scammers to send betting ads, and even phishing links, to the individuals. Chat history can be used to further enhance targeting marketing.

However, why did Whatsapp change its privacy policy? It is because it wanted to boost targeted marketing. If it can gain access to your chat history, it knows what you are discussing with your friend/parents. For example if you were discussing what to eat for lunch, suddenly when you open Instagram or other apps, you will see a lot of food advertisements. This is targeted marketing.
