Recent Activity

This document changed recently

High May 5, 2026

The updated policy changed the controlling entity from TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC to TikTok Pte. Ltd., a Singapore-registered company. The U.S.-specific privacy policy language was replaced with terms covering "other regions." Users previously governed under U.S. privacy protections are now subject to different jurisdictional terms.
