WhatsApp backups that haven't been updated in more than one year will be automatically removed from Google Drive storage. To avoid the loss of any backups, manually back up your WhatsApp data before November 12, 2018.

yes - i don't think your chat backups are encrypted, so now google and facebook can read them
