This Privacy Policy explains how this website processes information obtained through the TikTok Research API for academic research purposes. The site does not collect personal information from visitors. The only data processed originates from the TikTok Research API and consists exclusively of publicly available TikTok content, including public videos, comments, captions, hashtags, sounds, and engagement metrics. No private user data, direct messages, personal identifiers, or sensitive information are collected or stored. Data retrieved from the API is used solely for academic analysis related to digital culture, audience behavior, and content trends, and all research findings are anonymized, paraphrased, or aggregated to protect user privacy. The site does not permanently store personal data, and any temporary processing of public TikTok content is handled securely and used only for research purposes, with reasonable technical measures in place to protect system integrity. This website interacts with the TikTok Research API, which is governed by TikTok’s own Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, and TikTok may collect or process data according to its own policies. The site is not intended for children under 13, and no data is knowingly collected from minors. This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically, and continued use of the site after changes are posted indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
