In response to EU regulations, TikTok transfers European user data to a new data center in Ireland

According to news from this site on September 5, TikTok said on Tuesday that it has begun transferring the information of European users to its new data center in Ireland. TikTok also said it is building two more European data centers, one in Norway and one in Ireland.

This site noticed that when TikTok opened a data center in Ireland, it coincided with the EU passing the Digital Services Act on large online platforms. Crackdown, this regulation forces TikTok to provide optional algorithmic features to EU users.

TikTok said it was working with British security firm NCC Group to conduct an audit of its "data controls and protection, data flows, independent verification and incident reporting." The company also said that only "approved employees" will have access to the system.

These new data centers are part of TikTok’s “Project Clover” initiative, which aims to localize the storage of European data. This is the US equivalent of Project Texas, which also aims to alleviate data privacy concerns by storing user data on servers owned by US company Oracle.
