TikTok and its Chinese parent ByteDance could face a damages claim worth “billions of pounds” in London’s High Court over allegations they illegally harvested the private data of millions of European children.

A TikTok representative said privacy and safety were the company’s top priorities, and that it had robust policies, processes and technologies in place to help protect all users, especially teenage users.

But the claimants, advised by law firm Scott & Scott, were alleging TikTok violated UK and European Union data protection laws by processing young people's data without adequate security measures, transparency, the consent of guardians or legitimate interest.
