⚡️🚨 NEW - TikTok updated its Privacy Policy and it goes far beyond basic app data. The policy explicitly says TikTok may collect or infer sensitive personal data, including your: ➥ Citizenship or immigration status ➥ Religious beliefs ➥ Mental and physical health information ➥ Race or ethnic origin ➥ Precise geolocation ➥ Gender identity (including trans or non-binary) ➥ Sexual orientation. TikTok says this data can be provided directly, inferred from your activity, or processed “as permitted by law” and with user consent

At least they are saying that openly. An algo which knew if the user is straight or gay before they themselves even realized was researched and studied at least five years ago. So I would be surprised if they wouldn't know and collect this type of information long before disclosing it.
