TikTok may identify what appears in your videos, images and audio

Supporting quotations

Information about the videos, images and audio recordings that are a part of your user content, such as by identifying objects and scenery; the existence and location of a face and other body parts; and the text of the words spoken in your user content.

Qualifications & exceptions

  • Phrased as what TikTok “may collect” from user content.
  • Subject to “depending on your settings and how you use the Services”.

Inference & Profiling · Company practice

Other information that could be used to infer health data may also be collected

The last item in the list is “other information that may be used to infer or derive consumer health data”. The text gives no examples, so the item can cover information that is not itself about health but from which health data could be inferred or derived.

Supporting quotations

  • Phrased as information that “may be used” to infer or derive health data, and the list is introduced with “we may collect”.
