EU regulators are once again investigating TikTok over data transfers to China
EU regulators are once again investigating TikTok over data transfers to China

TikTok is in more regulatory hot water. Only a couple of months after it slapped TikTok with a hefty fine over data transfers to China, Ireland’s Data Protection Commission (DPC) is opening a fresh investigation into the platform. 
During the previous probe, TikTok claimed that European Economic Area (EEA) user data was stored on servers outside China. It said that TikTok staff in China accessed such data remotely. The DPC concluded the investigation on April 30 and fined TikTok 530 million euros ($620 million at current exchange rates). But that investigation and subsequent penalty didn't take into consideration any storage of EEA users data stored on server in China.
However, earlier in April, TikTok informed the DPC it discovered in February that "limited EEA user data" had been stored on servers in China after all, though it claimed that it had deleted the information. This revelation, which the DPC said "is contrary to TikTok’s evidence to the previous inquiry," prompted the latest investigation. The DPC is seeking to determine whether TikTok has breached the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation.
TikTok, like many other major tech enterprises, has its European headquarters in Ireland. As such, the DPC is the EU's primary regulator for the platform.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/big-tech/eu-regulators-are-once-again-investigating-tiktok-over-data-transfers-to-china-124658844.html?src=rss
