Interpretive note: The specific categories of data permitted or restricted under Executive Order 14352 compliance obligations are not detailed in the policy, making the operational scope of this provision uncertain without reference to the order itself and associated regulatory guidance.
This provision states that data sharing with TT Commerce and Global Services is limited to categories permitted under Executive Order 14352; the practical scope of what data is shared and what is restricted depends on the compliance obligations established under that order, which are not detailed in the policy itself.

"TT Commerce & Global Services LLC and its affiliates ("TT Commerce & Global Services"), to facilitate a global and interoperable experience, and for other permitted business purposes. We only share specific categories of information consistent with applicable law, including Executive Order 14352 and any compliance obligations thereunder.— Excerpt from TikTok's TikTok Privacy Policy
1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Executive Order 14352 addresses national security concerns related to data flows between US-operated TikTok services and entities under ByteDance control. Compliance obligations under this order are distinct from commercial privacy law frameworks such as CCPA or GDPR, and are subject to ongoing regulatory and government review. The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) and relevant national security agencies have jurisdiction over compliance with this order, outside of standard consumer privacy enforcement channels. 2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: High. The reference to Executive Order 14352 in a consumer privacy policy indicates that data sharing architecture with corporate affiliates is subject to national security-level constraints. Compliance teams cannot verify adequacy of these restrictions from the policy text alone; independent assessment of technical and operational compliance with the order's requirements would be needed. 3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: This provision is US-specific and applies to all US users of TikTok. The compliance obligations under Executive Order 14352 apply to TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC as the operating entity. Non-US users are governed by separate privacy policies and are not subject to the same data architecture. 4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Businesses entering advertising, commerce, or data partnerships with TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC should assess whether the Executive Order 14352 constraints affect the data flows they depend on, and whether their agreements reflect the restricted sharing categories. 5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should monitor developments in the legal and regulatory status of Executive Order 14352 and related CFIUS proceedings, as changes in the order's requirements could affect the data-sharing architecture described in this policy and require corresponding policy updates.
