How to remove yourself from TikTok

TikTok holds an unusually rich behavioural profile — watch time, drafts, contacts and device data.

Delete your account

1. Open Profile → Menu → Settings and privacy → Account → Deactivate or delete account.
2. Choose delete. There is a 30-day grace period before permanent deletion — do not log in during it.
3. Download your data first if you want it (Settings → Account → Download your data).

If you only want your data reduced

1. Settings → Privacy → Ads personalisation — turn off.
2. Settings → Privacy → Sync contacts and Facebook friends — turn off, and delete previously synced contacts.
