Canada is launching a joint federal and provincial investigation into TikTok's collection, use, and disclosure of personal information. The country's privacy regulator, along with counterparts in Quebec, British Columbia, and Alberta, will examine whether the Chinese-owned app's practices comply with Canadian privacy laws. The investigation focuses on whether TikTok obtains valid and meaningful consent for the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information. TikTok said it prioritizes users' privacy and safety and sees the probe as an opportunity to clarify how it protects Canadians' privacy. TikTok has faced scrutiny worldwide over concerns that China could harvest users' data or advance its interests.
