Selectively blocking some analytics while permitting others (including TikTok's own extensive monitoring) highlights the asymmetry in TikTok's data collection approach: third-party Google tracking is blocked, but TikTok's own device sensor monitoring proceeds.
TikTok's platform policy pages embed JavaScript instrumentation that actively monitors device sensors including clipboard content, geolocation, accelerometer, gyroscope, and battery status, meaning data collection occurs even when users are simply reading policy documents. This broad sensor monitoring, combined with TikTok's known data-sharing practices and ByteDance's ownership structure, creates meaningful privacy risk for all users including those in jurisdictions with strong data protection laws. You can limit TikTok's data access by revoking clipboard, location, and microphone permissions for the TikTok app in your device's settings.
Google's Privacy Policy covers Search, Gmail, YouTube, Maps, and every site running Google Analytics. Here is what it actually authorizes.
Geolocation, biometrics, automated deactivation, telematics. The Uber Privacy Notice is one of the most extensive surveillance agreements in the gig economy.
