According to a foreign news agency report, the lawsuit also accused the Chinese company of keeping user content such as draft videos while its privacy policies are vague.
Vague privacy policies, according to the petition, raise concerns that TikTok could be used to identify, profile, and track users in the U.S., while the company would benefit from the alleged activity because it could access data. May sell for targeted advertising.
The lawsuit further stated that Tik Tok’s lighthearted entertainment may come at a heavy price.
These allegations have come at a time when several measures are being taken in the US regarding TikTok and the US government is already reviewing the app to see if it poses a security threat.
According to a foreign news agency, this case has been filed by a student from California.
According to the lawsuit, TikTok videos often feature close-ups of people’s faces, allowing the company to collect biometric data from its users.
The lawsuit alleges that once a user creates a video and clicks the Next button, the video is transferred to multiple domains without their knowledge, and this happens even after users post or save the video. What would not have happened?
According to the petition, the student had downloaded Tik Tok in March or April 2019 but had not created an account, but several months later she discovered that Tik Tok had created an account for her.
They created 5 or 6 videos in Tik Tok but did not save or post them, but still Tik Tok collected these videos and student’s data anonymously and sent them to servers in China.
The lawsuit further stated that TikTok collects various types of data such as phone and social network contacts, email addresses, IP addresses, location and other information even after the user closes the app. The application continues to collect biometric and user data even on the go.
