What the regulator decided

TikTok transferred EEA user data to the People's Republic of China without verifying that the protections offered by Chinese law were essentially equivalent to those under EU law, breaching Article 46(1) GDPR; and failed to inform users about the transfers and the remote access by personnel in China, breaching the transparency obligation in Article 13(1)(f) GDPR.

ConsentMark interpretation

Operator-readable note on how this case shapes the ConsentMark scanner narrative. Not a legal opinion; cites the primary source.

Distinct from IN-21-9-1 (the September 2023 children's design-patterns case). Composite fine is EUR 485M (Art 46(1)) plus EUR 45M (Art 13(1)(f)). Cite when the scanner narrative needs the precedent for transparency about international transfers and remote access by third-country personnel.

Checked against the primary source on 27th May 2026. Next review 27th November 2026.
