TikTok — Enforcement

The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, together with provincial privacy commissioners of Quebec, British Columbia, and Alberta, concluded a joint investigation finding that TikTok violated Canadian privacy law by collecting, using, and disclosing children's personal information without meaningful parental consent. The commissioners found TikTok's age-gating mechanisms were inadequate to prevent children under 13 from creating accounts and being subject to algorithmic profiling.
