WhatsApp Privacy Policy Update: Objection to use of personal information (faq.whatsapp.com)

Today I got a notification from WhatsApp about the new Privacy Policy. for the European Region.

In that notification it mentions:

When we rely on legitimate interests, you have a right to object to our use of your information. You can do this here. You can also find out more information on how to exercise your rights.

For the fun of it, I filled out the form to object. Now I received a Mail asking for:

  • Against which type of data processing are you objecting?
  • How does this data processing affect you?
  • Add more information which should be considered in this request

People with experience with data privacy, what basis and argumentation can I add here to support my request?

P.S.: I have no confidence that this will prevent WhatsApp to spy on me and I know I need to get rid of it. I am objecting because I feel people should do and if nothing else, then just to keep the WhatsApp Lawyer busy.
