Violating the privacy of young children.
The information that Dutch users – mostly young children – received from TikTok when installing and using the app was in English and therefore not easy to understand. By not offering the privacy statement in Dutch, TikTok did not adequately explain how the app collects, processes and further uses personal data. This is contrary to privacy legislation, where the basic principle is that it must always be clear what happens to your personal data.
