JAKARTA TikTok shares their way of maintaining the security of personal information and storing user data. They conveyed this to straighten out various misperceptions regarding the TikTok platform.

Through its official website, TikTok insists that they are committed to maintaining the safety and security of its platform. One of their actions in maintaining security is to limit the number of employees who access user data.

In addition to limiting its employees, TikTok also requires its employees to comply with the policies and procedures they set. If in the end TikTok employees have to access user data, TikTok will ensure they comply with comprehensive security controls and authorization protocols.

TikTok also describes how they maintain security in the United States (US). TikTok reminds again that they have a team called TikTok US Data Security (USDS). The team specifically oversees the prevention of unauthorized data access to users in the US.

Since the middle of last year, TikTok has been storing user data in the US into the US Cloud Oracle infrastructure. USDS will continue to work and ensure that no data leaks occur. However, this will harm users and TikTok themselves.

Meanwhile, TikTok has a different way of maintaining user security in the UK and the European Economic Zone (EEA). TikTok recently introduced Project Clover, a safe bag to keep TikTok user data in Europe.

European TikTok data is indeed stored in the US, Malaysia and Singapore, but all of this data will begin migrating to Dublin and Norway. This transfer will take place this year until next year.

The way Project Clover works is similar to USDS, where third parties in collaboration with TikTok will monitor and audit data protection, observe data streams, provide independent verification, and report all incidents that occur.
