Addressing Security Concerns Tiktok Moves Us User Data And Traffic To Oracle Servers

TikTok has clarified concerns about its employees reportedly breaching the data of US users from China. The clarification comes after BuzzFeed News published a report about unauthorized data access, citing leaked audio from over 80 internal TikTok meetings.

TikTok emphasized that it has been working with Oracle to store US user data within the country. Furthermore, the company says it has changed the default storage location of US user data to the US, with the entirety of the user traffic routed through Oracle Cloud infrastructure. It also aims to delete private data from its US and Singapore data centers and completely rely on Oracle’s US-based cloud servers for backup.
