EU fines TikTok 530 million euros and orders it not to transfer user data to

TikTok was fined 530 million euros by the European Union's top privacy regulator on Friday over concerns about how it protects user information and was ordered to suspend data transfers to China if its processing is not compliant within six months.

Ireland's Data Protection Commissioner (DPC) said TikTok, owned by Chinese firm ByteDance, failed to demonstrate that the personal data of EU users, some of which is accessed remotely by staff in China, was provided with the high level of protection required under EU law.

As a result, the short-video platform did not address potential access by Chinese authorities to data under counter-espionage and other laws identified by TikTok as materially different from EU standards, the DPC said in a statement.

TikTok said it strongly opposes the report and that it has used the EU's own legal framework, specifically the so-called standard contractual clauses, to grant controlled and limited remote access, and plans to appeal the decision.

TikTok also said the decision does not fully take into account data security measures first implemented in 2023, which independently monitor remote access and ensure that EU user data is stored in dedicated data centers in Europe and the United States.

TikTok, which has grown rapidly among teenagers around the world in recent years and has 175 million users across Europe, added that it has never received a request for EU user data from Chinese authorities and has never provided data to them.
