The updated privacy policy expands disclosure of data collection practices affecting all users. The revised terms now explicitly describe collection of AI interactions (prompts, questions, and responses), clipboard content when accessing certain functions, pre-upload collection of user content for recommendations, and messaging through shopping features. The policy now explicitly addresses state-specific health privacy laws and CCPA-defined sensitive personal information, including racial or ethnic origin, health diagnoses, sexual orientation, and immigration status. The policy establishes that TikTok does not require provision of sensitive information but notes that published user content on these topics may be visible depending on privacy settings. You can adjust your settings to control which data types are collected and manage your contact sync preferences.
