Data protection

You are responsible for complying with those requirements if you message about any allowed regulated vertical.

Enforcement

Meta and/or Hagal may limit, suspend, or terminate access to WhatsApp Business features if you receive significant negative feedback, harm users, violate these terms or Meta's policies, message people at scale in an unauthorized manner, or otherwise fail to maintain a high-quality experience. Low quality tiers may reduce message or call capacity. Termination for policy violations may result in prohibition from future use of WhatsApp products and services.
