It was discovered the TikTok app was specifically gathering a lot more data from your phone than was relevant to the service at hand. This was a big thread on HN a little while back.

The value isn't zero but if the Chinese Government loses the data about what TikTok videos people watched they aren't going to lose any sleep over it.
