What we showed

For about 70 minutes on 2026-11-08, TikTok's dossier showed the grade "Privacy: A".

Why

TikTok's privacy policy page builds itself with JavaScript, so our reader received an empty page, and the software read "found nothing" as "tested, nothing found". The grade was computed when the page loaded and was never stored.

What we did

Fixed on 2026-11-08: a page we cannot read is recorded as "could not read" and is never tested; finding nothing never produces a grade; and no grade about a real company is shown anywhere.
