Today, WhatsApp does not share your personal information with Facebook to improve your Facebook product experiences or provide you more relevant Facebook ad experiences on Facebook. This is a result of discussions with the Irish Data Protection Commission and other Data Protection Authorities in Europe. We're always working on new ways to improve how you experience WhatsApp and the other Facebook Company Products you use. Should we choose to share such data with the Facebook Companies for this purpose in the future, we will only do so when we reach an understanding with the Irish Data Protection Commission on a future mechanism to enable such use. We'll keep you updated on new experiences we offer and our information practices.

This is legalese for pretty much what I posted. In particular, the keep you update here does not necessarily mean you get to agree to a new privacy policy, as the current policy does not include a commitment not to share data (for ads etc) with facebook in the first place. This statement is deviously placed outside the privacy policy!
Also further up they say that they associate the whatsapp profile with any facebook profile in the household/net/vicinity. To be clear, they do this now. Not in the future.
