Children’s Privacy: TikTok fined €750,000 by Dutch DPA over failure to protect kids
The Dutch Data Protection Authority has found TikTok in violation of children’s privacy for not providing Dutch translation of their privacy statement for Dutch users. There are an estimated 3.5M TikTok users in the Netherlands, most of whom are young children. By not providing the consent information in their own language, the company was deemed to not have provided clear description of what would be done with the data it collects, so was seen as not adequately protecting children as required under GDPR.
