Maybe you've seen TikTok but haven't used it just yet, or maybe you're all in on its meme-centric approach.
It's a fun app that easily enables video and audio sharing with your friends. It's also free, run by a Chinese company, and makes its money by selling user data.
"You acknowledge and agree that we may generate revenues, increase goodwill or otherwise increase our value from your use of the Services, including, by way of example and not limitation, through the sale of advertising, sponsorships, promotions, usage data and Gifts," the TikTok terms of service says.
And that's not all!
"You also waive any and all rights of privacy, publicity, or any other rights of a similar nature in connection with your User Content, or any portion thereof," the terms of service says.
These aren't nefarious statements — they're standard agreements that every social media company issues as a requirement for using their platform. It doesn't matter if you're talking about Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, or FaceApp.
But maybe you're worried about which government is getting your data, such as FaceApp's Russian origins? You should probably know that TikTok is from China.
