Geolocation data collection enables TikTok to deliver location-based features, content personalization, and advertising targeting. This data stream also supports operational functions including compliance verification, fraud detection, and service analytics.
The updated Community Guidelines footer no longer includes a direct link to TikTok's Children's Privacy Policy. Previously, users navigating the Community Guidelines could access child-specific privacy disclosures through the footer link.

Users seeking child privacy information from the Community Guidelines will need to navigate elsewhere or search for it independently.
