Protecting Your Privacy

Keeping TikTok Safe
Providing a supportive and secure environment is our top priority. We believe safety is essential for open self-expression and creativity. We work hard to remove content, including videos, images, comments, and live streams, that violate our Community Guidelines. Accounts involved in serious or repeated violations are removed, and in extreme cases, we report them to law enforcement to protect our community. These guidelines apply to everyone and everything shared on TikTok.
