TikTok US children's policy now also covers 13-year-olds in Florida and adds a teen summary link
The children's section of TikTok's US privacy policy now covers users who are 13 in Florida, as well as under-13s, in the limited 'Under 13 Experience'. The policy also links to a new teen summary. Most other edits reword 'Children' as 'users of this experience'. The statements on automatic data collection, messaging limits and sensitive information were already in the old version.
