TikTok lists five categories of user data that a valid request can cover

Section 2 says TikTok may hold the user data listed under five headings: subscriber information, log-in and log-out data, interaction data (non-content), content data and transaction data. These are the categories that can be the subject of a valid law enforcement request. "May hold" does not mean TikTok holds every item for every user, and being listed does not mean it will be disclosed: each request must still meet the legal requirements for the data asked for.

Subscriber information includes username, contact details, sign-up IP and device information

Under subscriber information TikTok lists the TikTok username, email address, phone number, account creation date, the IP address at account creation and device information.
