BlackFog has introduced Tiktok privacy prevention for all users of BlackFog Privacy. This new feature available in BlackFog 4.5 and above dynamically detects exfiltration events from TikTok to remote servers and prevents data leaks.

TikTok has been seen as a large privacy risk in recent months as it has been exposed for using questionable data collection techniques such as clipboard sniffing and sending detailed user demographics and behavior to remote servers. Since TikTok is owned by a Beijing-based company called ByteDance the suspicion is that this information is sent to China. While there is no definitive proof of direct exfiltration to China the company is regulated under Chinese law and must comply with Government request for information. To be confident BlackFog places geofences around TikTok to be sure the information is not directly sent to China.
