Beskrivelse

The Dutch DPA (AP) has fined the video portal TikTok EUR 750,000 for violating the privacy of young children. The information that Dutch users - mostly young children - received from TikTok when installing and using the app was in English and therefore not easy to understand. By not providing the privacy policy in Dutch, TikTok did not adequately explain how the app collects, processes, and reuses personal data. The DPA considered this to be a violation of the company's duty to provide information.
