I really wonder why :)
And apparently iMessage has a privacy statement now, and it's much shorter than whatsapp's:

(This is posted on HN too).
If they don't update the apps, do they have to update the privacy policy?
Whatever's already submitted stays like that.
No big mystery there.

Or there.
I wonder how effective these things really will be. Most people aren't going to scroll through these so the average person is going to ignore the everything below the fold. It's like the required disclaimers on medicines which people ignore. Once you get past the first few, nobody pays attention.
Once we have everyone actually publishing what they're doing it's a lot simpler to file complaints to DPA's and to verify they're actually compliant with legislation.
