TikTok quietly rolled out its new US privacy policy earlier this week, allowing the Chinese company to automatically "collect biometric identifiers and biometric information" from its users' content...
"We may collect biometric identifiers and biometric information as defined under US laws, such as faceprints and voiceprints, from your User Content. Where required by law, we will seek any required permissions from you prior to any such collection."
"The statement itself is vague, as it doesn't specify whether it's considering federal law, states laws, or both. It also doesn't explain, as the other part did, why TikTok needs this data. It doesn't define the terms "faceprints" or "voiceprints." Nor does it explain how it would go about seeking the "required permissions" from users, or if it would look to either state or federal laws to guide that process of gaining consent," TechCrunch said.
