The Privacy Commissioner of Canada says it has teamed up with the offices of the information and privacy commissioners in B.C., Alberta and Quebec to look into TikTok.
Federal and several provincial privacy authorities say they will jointly investigate TikTok.
They will examine whether TikTok, which is owned by Beijing-based ByteDance, is in compliance with Canadian privacy legislation and whether"valid and meaningful" consent is being obtained for the collection, use and disclosure of personal information. The final piece of the investigation will focus on TikTok's privacy practices that apply to children and youths, who comprise a large portion of the app's userbase.
