I also got the notification, but it's strange because WhatsApp in Europe is from WhatsApp Ireland Limited, and WhatsApp outside is from WhatsApp LLC. They are different companies with different legal requirements. I've seen some news stating that these new changes apply only to WhatsApp LLC, but the notification seem to say otherwise.

Someone else with more info could explain better?
