TikTok collects your approximate location information based on your device or network information, such as SIM card and IP address. In regions where Location Services is available, TikTok will also collect your location information based on your device's GPS data if you enable Location Services. Learn more about your device's location settings in the Android Help Center and Apple Support. Note: Location Services may not be available in all regions, including the U.S. and South Korea.

Why does TikTok collect location information

To help us improve your app experience, we use location information for the purposes set out in our Privacy Policy, such as to show you videos and content that are popular in your area, and where applicable, ads that may be more relevant to you. Additionally, we may ask you to turn on Location Services (if available in your region) to provide us with more accurate location information. For example, you may be prompted to turn on Location Services when you browse the For You feed or if you want to tag a location in your video. Providing more accurate location information helps TikTok show you even more relevant content and ads.

What location information is collected by TikTok

When Location Services is turned on:

• TikTok will receive your approximate location from your device's GPS data.

• The approximate location information TikTok receives from your device is an area of at least 3 square kilometers (1.16 square miles) from your actual location. The area may be larger, depending on the operating system type and version that is running on your device. • If you're located in Bangladesh, Cambodia, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, or Vietnam, you may also have the option to turn on precise location.

When Location Services is turned off or not available:

• TikTok will continue to collect your approximate location information based on your device or network information, such as SIM card and IP address. • The approximate location information TikTok receives from your device or network information is limited to the country, region, city, or, in the U.S., zipcode in which you may be located. Note: Due to manufacturer issues, some Android devices may prompt you to turn on precise location, even though only Location Services with approximate location is available in your region. In such cases, TikTok will continue to ensure that only your approximate information is collected.
