If you choose to be part of The Independent’s WhatsApp Community, you are allowing WhatsApp to receive and share data with us, including your phone number. Your full phone number is not visible to other members in the group, apart from the admin. We will never use this data to contact you or for any other purposes.
Messages will only be sent by The Independent and your information will be kept secure – no one else will be able to see that you are receiving our messages, unless you comment publicly on these messages.
You can exit the Community at any time by going to the Communities tab of your WhatsApp account, and following these instructions: How to exit a community. You can reply to our posts, but these must adhere to The Independent’s Community Guidelines. We may remove posts or block members from the WhatsApp Community if they breach these guidelines.
