Have not shared any info of Indian users with Chinese govt: TikTok on ban
TikTok has not
shared information on Indian users with China or other foreign governments, it
said on Tuesday after New Delhi last evening banned it along with 58 other apps
with Chinese links.
“We
have been invited to meet with concerned government stakeholders for an
opportunity to respond and submit clarifications,” said Tik Tok India head
Nikhil Gandhi in a statement.
TikTok “continued
to comply with data privacy and security requirements under Indian law” and had
not shared any information of users in India with “any foreign government,
including the Chinese government”. The viral app added: “if we are requested to
in the future we would not do so.”
“TikTok has
democratized the internet by making it available in 14 Indian languages, with
hundreds of millions of users, artists, story tellers, educators and performers
depending on it for their livelihood, many of whom are first time internet
users," said the statement.
