TikTok lighthearted fun comes with serious risks

The popular TikTok app collects a lot of the user's personal data, including email, IP address, phone and social network contacts, location information, and data provider information. The users are not sufficiently informed about these data transfers. TikTok is suspected of sending user data to servers in China. The company is also suspected of failing to provide adequate protection for children. These suspicions are being investigated by the European Data Protection Board and by various government agencies in the Netherlands, Ireland, Italy, the US, Australia and India. In addition, experts have found security flaws in the TikTok app itself, allowing hackers to access user information.
