TikTok is growing its data harvesting empire, and avoiding the app won’t protect you – but some easy steps can keep you safe.

The problem is always that this is a “trust us!” situation. If I were an evil company and user Foo requested his data deleted, simply deleting it would be the worst possible choice. Something simple as creating another company that has a deal to buy data from you for cheapsies. They just happen to sell them Foo’s data right before you deleted it. Oh well, you did delete it so. Or just don’t delete it, just say you do (which is what I suspect most do anyway).
Those requesting data delete, are probably holding the most valuable data, maybe not for your company but for someone else.
It is very very hard to prove you have completely deleted something, maybe you just deleted 4 of the 5 copies.
