The short-video format social media app, TikTok, just updated its Privacy Policy and things look a bit fishy. Tiktok Privacy Policy UpdateIn a Tiktok video posted by Sean (username @seansvv) yesterday, which at the time of writing has amassed 3.4 million likes and over 136.2 thousand shares, he talks about the new privacy policy the app has rolled out for its users. In that section, the second to the last sentence reads: "We may collect biometric identifiers and biometric information as defined under US laws, such as faceprints and voiceprints, from your User Content." By continuing to use the app, users agree, unknowingly or not, to the app gathering those biometric data. A spokesperson has said that the updated privacy policy served to "provide more clarity" on the information the app collects.
