This document explains what information TikTok collects about you—including biometric data from your videos, content you create but never post, and data about your activity on other websites sent to TikTok by its partners—and how TikTok uses that information, including to train its AI systems. TikTok will only ask your permission before collecting biometric data and will only refrain from selling or sharing your data for targeted advertising where the law specifically requires it to. You can submit a request to TikTok to know, access, correct, or delete information it has collected from or about you.
TikTok's privacy policy establishes the categories of personal data TikTok collects, the purposes for which it is used, the conditions under which it is shared, and the rights users may exercise. Collection encompasses AI interaction inputs and outputs, biometric identifiers and information derived from user-submitted content, pre-upload content captured at the moment of creation regardless of whether the user publishes it, content characteristics including face and body-part location data, and off-platform behavioral data received from advertisers, publishers, and measurement partners. TikTok uses behavioral data to train, test, and improve its machine learning models and algorithms, and may transmit user information outside the United States subject to applicable laws including Executive Order 14352. User rights to know, access, correct, and delete collected information are established, while the commitments on biometric consent, sensitive data processing, and restrictions on selling or sharing data for cross-context behavioral advertising are each conditioned on what applicable law requires.
As an individual user, TikTok may collect biometric identifiers such as faceprints and voiceprints from content you submit, capture content you create but decide not to save or publish, and receive information about pages you visited and purchases you made on other websites from its advertising and measurement partners. Prompts, files, and responses from your interactions with TikTok's AI features are also collected. TikTok's commitment to seeking your permission before biometric data collection and its commitment to not selling or sharing your data for cross-context behavioral advertising each apply only where applicable law requires them. You can take one concrete action: submit a request to TikTok to know, access, correct, or delete information it has collected from or about you.
