Description

Data Protection Commission submitted a draft decision regarding its investigation into TikTok to other concerned supervisory authorities

On 21 February 2025, the Data Protection Commission (DPC) submitted a draft decision under Article 60 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to other European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA) supervisory authorities. The investigation, initiated in September 2021, examines TikTok's transfer of users' personal data from the EU/EEA to China and its compliance with GDPR requirements, including transparency obligations. The draft decision is now subject to a one-month review period, during which other supervisory authorities have the opportunity to either submit reasoned objections or provide commentary.
