TikTok will now collect precise user location data in the United States. The popular social media app announced the change in an updated privacy policy.
The new policy grants the app expanded access to location information. This means TikTok can determine a user's whereabouts more accurately than before. The company did not specify all intended uses for this precise data.
Experts say such data can be used for targeted advertising and content recommendations. Users can manage location permissions within their device settings and the TikTok app.
