TikTok fined £12.7M by the UK ICO over children's data

Final

The UK Information Commissioner found that TikTok processed the data of children under 13 without parental consent, did not carry out adequate checks to identify and remove underage users, and did not clearly explain how it collected, used and shared data. The ICO estimated that up to 1.4 million UK children under 13 used the platform in 2020, although its own rules barred them.
