  They don’t choose the platform, the platforms choose them. Under EU regulation WhatsApp as a “gatekeeper” has to give access to any other platform operating in the EU if they request it. Three a, Signal and co simply aren’t interested.

  Then seems like they chose these platforms because they’re not accessible and thus not threatening, in a malicious compliance way

  The Haiket website doesn’t seem to disclose anything about the people, company, org, or group behind it.

  The privacy policy does not disclose them as processors by name either.

  The privacy policy GDPR section does not talk about shared information, presumably because they don’t because they can’t without consent, but the California section says:

  Please see the “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” section and “Limit the Use or Disclosure of My Sensitive Personal Information” section for more information on how to opt out and limit the use of sensitive information collected.

  Implying a default no-explicit-consent selling of personal and sensitive personal information outside of the GDPR regions.
