Privacy Policy

Information you give us

There are no accounts, sign-ups or forms that ask for personal details. The only thing you type in is a TikTok username or link. It's sent to our server so we can look up the public profile, story, video or sound you asked for. We don't keep a history of what you search, and we don't link searches to you.

To keep the site fast, our server briefly caches the public results it fetched (usually for a few minutes, at most an hour) in memory. These caches contain public TikTok data, not information about you, and are cleared when the server restarts.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our web server records basic technical data about each request:

• your IP address and the time of the request
• the page or file requested and the response status
• your browser's user agent (browser and device type) and the referring page

We use these logs only to keep the site working, to limit abuse (for example automated scraping) and to fix errors. They are kept for a limited time, normally up to 14 days, and are not sold or shared for marketing.

Cookies

ViewTikTok doesn't set its own cookies. Our security and delivery provider, Cloudflare, may set strictly necessary cookies (such as __cf_bm) to tell real visitors apart from bots.

We use Google Analytics to understand how the site is used: which pages are visited, roughly from which country, on what kind of device, and how often searches and downloads happen. We never send what you type (usernames or links) to Google Analytics. Google Analytics 4 doesn't log or store IP addresses. In the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, analytics cookies are off by default and Google only receives cookieless, aggregated signals unless you consent. You can opt out everywhere with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. See how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

We may show ads served by Google AdSense. When we do, Google and its partners use cookies to show ads based on your visits to this and other websites. You can turn off personalized advertising in Google's Ads Settings or opt out of third-party vendors' cookies at aboutads.info. Where the law requires consent for these cookies, we ask for it before ads are personalized.

Third parties involved

• Cloudflare sits in front of the site to protect it and deliver it quickly. It processes your requests, including your IP address, under its own privacy policy.
• TikTok: our server requests public profile data from TikTok on your behalf, so TikTok sees our server, not you. Pictures and videos shown on our pages are loaded by your browser straight from TikTok's content servers, and videos opened in the player use TikTok's embedded player; for those, TikTok receives your IP address and browser details under its own privacy policy.
• tikwm.com, a public TikTok data service, supplies reposts, following lists and direct video and sound files. Requests to it are made by our server, not your browser.

Downloads

When you download a video, sound or image, the file is streamed from TikTok's servers through ours straight to your device. We don't store copies of downloaded files.

Children

ViewTikTok is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from them.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or CCPA), you may have the right to ask what personal data we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, or to object to its use. Because we don't keep accounts or search histories, the only personal data we may hold is in short-lived server logs. To make a request, email [email protected].

Changes to this policy

If we change how the site handles data, for example by adding a new service, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
