TikTok的新美国实体现在收集准确的定位数据并扩大AI追踪, 要求用户选择加入, TikTok’s new U.S. entity now collects precise location data and expands AI tracking, requiring user opt-in, amid ongoing privacy concerns.

TikTok根据其美国拥有的新实体TikTok United Nations Venture LLC更新了美国的隐私政策,允许收集精确的全球定位系统定位数据(以前只是近似数据),同时扩大跟踪用户与AI工具的互动情况。 TikTok has updated its U.S. privacy policy under its new American-owned entity, TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC, allowing the collection of precise GPS location data—previously only approximate—along with expanded tracking of user interactions with AI tools. 这些变化是政府为解决国家安全关切而授权进行的结构调整的一部分,也使得各平台能够更广泛地使用广告数据。 The changes, part of a government-mandated restructuring to address national security concerns, also enable broader advertising data use across platforms. 虽然定位跟踪是可选择的,而且默认是关闭的,需要用户选择使用,但没有确定推出日期。 While location tracking is optional and off by default, requiring user opt-in, no rollout date has been set. 该公司在Oracle和其他投资者的支持下,旨在将美国用户数据储存在美国云层基础设施中。 The venture, backed by Oracle and other investors, aims to store U.S. user data in American cloud infrastructure. 尽管有人声称遵守了美国法律和用户控制,但对数据隐私、透明度和ByteDance的剩余少数利益仍然感到关切。 Despite claims of compliance with U.S. law and user controls, concerns persist over data privacy, transparency, and ByteDance’s remaining minority stake.
