TikTok Updates Its Terms and Conditions in the U.S.

The changes came after the app’s Chinese parent company spun out an American entity to run TikTok in the United States.

TikTok has changed its terms and conditions and privacy policies for American users, expanding its ability to target advertising and track the location of people who give the app permission to do so.

The update came after ByteDance, TikTok’s Chinese owner, spun out an American TikTok entity on Thursday as part of a deal to loosen the app’s ties to China or face a ban in the United States.

The revised privacy policy includes a statement that the new U.S. TikTok will share some data with TikTok’s global operations to ensure that users have an “interoperable experience.” It said it was sharing that data “consistent with applicable law.”

American users started seeing a pop-up message on Thursday as they logged into the app asking them to agree to the new terms.
