Users can make their profiles more secure to avoid problems Curiously
The government recently announced that it would be banning TikTok from all government devices amid concerns of data security.
Though this information is anonymous, there is a lot that can be inferred from it. The next time you open a TikTok link, for example, the algorithm will serve you recommendations based on your previous watch history. The more content you consume, the easier it is to determine your age range, gender, and interests, even without a profile.
TikTok says that user data is only saved on servers in Singapore and the United States rather than on Chinese servers, and it has not been possible for fact-checkers to find any transmissions to other countries, such as China. However, the claim is not completely verifiable. In a statement about TikTok privacy concerns, the UK government said: "The government, along with our international partners, is concerned about the way in which this data may be used." The worry is that the Chinese-owned app was able to access data from devices, including geolocation, calendar, contacts, and even the sim card serial number.
2. Set your account to private - Setting your account to private will allow you to determine who gets to see your content. This can greatly improve your online security if you’re not yet ready to delete TikTok. To make your account private, click on the three dots in the top right corner of the TikTok app, select Privacy and Safety, and toggle on Private account.
