# Tiktok

### Work in progress

Tiktok is a social media app allowing people to post short form videos, usually from a couple seconds to up to 3 minutes long in length.

Like Discord, TikTok is spyware because all data goes through a central server, and multidues of data on you and your device are collected, sometimes even without your consent.

### Tiktok collects mass amounts of data

Tiktok explicitly confirms in its privacy policy[1] that it collects/can access the following information:

- Age of user
- ID cards (if submitted)
- Device UUID
- User's e-mail address
- Content from your clipboard
- All images and videos stored on your phone

It also collects data from outside companies ("advertising partners") from third parties without your consent.

### Tiktok shares this data with companies in the business of spyware.
