ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The provision establishes a data-sharing framework between TikTok and third-party advertising and measurement partners. It specifies the categories of user information that flow from external partners into TikTok's systems and identifies the operational purposes—ad measurement and targeted delivery—that govern the use of this data.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Users' activity outside TikTok's platforms and apps is collected by TikTok's advertising partners and shared with TikTok for ad targeting and measurement purposes. The mechanism relies on identifiers such as mobile IDs, hashed email addresses, phone numbers, and cookies that enable cross-platform tracking and matching of user activity.

Advertisers, publishers, and measurement and other partners provide us with information about you and the actions you have taken outside of our websites and apps, including the pages you visit, products or services you purchase, and apps you download.
