You may believe that content you decide not to share stays private, but TikTok's policy allows collection of that content before any publishing decision is made.
TikTok collects an exceptionally broad range of personal data including biometric identifiers, precise location, clipboard content, purchase history, and inferred personal attributes, which are shared with advertisers, analytics partners, sellers, and third-party platforms. Minors receive additional protections, and sensitive personal information such as health, financial, and demographic data may be inadvertently disclosed through user content. You can opt out of personalized advertising and manage your data rights by visiting TikTok's Privacy and Settings menu in the app or at https://www.tiktok.com/legal/report/privacy.
