Tik Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 6, 2026

tik (“tik”, “the App”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is developed and operated by Codisty, based in Beirut, Lebanon. This Privacy Policy explains what information the App accesses, how it is used, and the choices you have. tik is an unofficial, third‑party client for TikTok for Apple Watch and iPhone. tik is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by TikTok or ByteDance Ltd.

Summary

tik is designed to keep your data on your device. When you log in, your TikTok session is stored securely on your device and is used only to communicate directly between your device and TikTok. We do not operate servers that collect, store, or process your TikTok credentials or content.

Information the App accesses

TikTok login session. To use tik you log in to TikTok on your iPhone using TikTok’s own web login. tik stores the resulting session token and associated cookies in your device’s secure storage (Keychain / app sandbox) so you stay signed in. Your password is sent only to TikTok during login and is never stored by tik or transmitted to Codisty.
TikTok content. The For You feed, Following feed, profiles, search results, and videos you view are fetched directly from TikTok to your device in order to display them. This content is not routed through or stored by Codisty.
Saved videos. Videos you choose to save for offline playback are downloaded and stored locally on your device only.
Local settings. Preferences are stored locally on your device.
Subscription status. Your optional tik+ subscription is processed by Apple. tik receives only your entitlement status (whether you have an active subscription) from Apple’s StoreKit. We do not receive your name, payment card, or other payment details.

Information we do NOT collect

We do not collect or store your TikTok username or password on any server.
We do not run analytics servers that track your usage, and we do not sell or share personal data with advertisers.
We do not have access to your TikTok content on our servers — it stays between your device and TikTok.

How your information is used

To authenticate you with TikTok and keep you signed in.
To display the TikTok content you request within the App.
To sync your login from your iPhone to your paired Apple Watch (using Apple’s WatchConnectivity), so you can use tik on your watch.
To unlock tik+ premium features based on your Apple subscription entitlement.

Data sharing

TikTok (ByteDance). Because tik is a client for TikTok, your activity interacts with TikTok’s servers and is governed by TikTok’s own terms and privacy policy: https://www.tiktok.com/legal/page/row/privacy-policy/en.
Apple. Subscriptions and in‑app purchases are handled by Apple under Apple’s Privacy Policy: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/.

We do not share your information with any other third parties.

Data storage and security

Your TikTok session and settings are stored on your device using Apple’s secure storage. Login and data traffic use encrypted (HTTPS) connections to TikTok. Because your data is stored on your device, its security also depends on your device’s own protections (passcode, Face ID / Touch ID).

Your choices and data deletion

Sign out at any time from the App. Signing out deletes the stored session from your device.
Uninstall tik to remove all locally stored data, including your session, saved videos, and settings.
To manage or delete data held by TikTok itself, use the TikTok app or https://www.tiktok.com.

Children

tik is not directed to children under 13, or under the minimum age required to hold a TikTok account in your country. Do not use tik if you are under that age.
