As Facebook owns Whatsapp, you must be concerned about your privacy, on which point Facebook is not good with. But this time they have taken care of that aspect as well. For privacy issues, Whatsapp is not linking with other apps to share data, in this case, the status. They are just using the data-sharing API as other apps do.
