Sharing & Disclosure · Company commitment

TikTok says it does not sell information or share it for targeted advertising where law restricts that

TikTok says it doesn't share your information with third parties for targeted advertising purposes where restricted by applicable law, or sell your information. The sentence is ambiguous: 'where restricted by applicable law' may qualify only the targeted-advertising sharing, or also the sale. As written, the page does not say whether sharing for targeted advertising happens where no law restricts it, and it does not define 'third parties' against the 'companies that support TikTok' it shares with in the previous sentences.

Qualifications & exceptions

• The 'where restricted by applicable law' wording limits the commitment; the sentence leaves unclear whether it reaches the sale of information.

Not stated here

• Whether the 'where restricted by applicable law' wording also qualifies the statement about selling information.
• Which laws restrict targeted-advertising sharing, and whether sharing for targeted advertising occurs where no law restricts it.
• Whether 'third parties' includes the companies that support TikTok.
