Privacy policy
Last updated: 10 November 2026
This policy explains how ScamCheck UK ("we", "us") handles information in connection with our website and ScamCheck UK Studio, our in-house tool for publishing videos to TikTok.
Information we collect
When an authorised member of our team signs in to ScamCheck UK Studio with TikTok, TikTok shares the following with us, with the account holder's permission:
- Basic profile information: your TikTok open ID, display name and avatar (scope
user.info.basic) - Permission to upload and publish videos to your account (scopes
video.uploadandvideo.publish) - Access and refresh tokens issued by TikTok that let the tool act on that permission
We do not collect your password, messages, contacts, followers, location or payment information. Our website doesn't use analytics or advertising cookies.
How we use it
We use this information only to confirm which account is connected and to upload and publish videos that we have created. We don't use it for advertising or profiling, and we don't sell or share it with anyone else.
Storage and security
Tokens are stored securely on systems controlled by ScamCheck UK and are used only by our publishing tool. Videos are processed by TikTok under TikTok's privacy policy.
Retention and deletion
We keep tokens only while the account is connected. You can revoke access at any time in the TikTok app under Settings and privacy → Security → Apps and services. Once access is revoked, the tokens stop working and we delete them. You can also ask us to delete any data we hold by emailing us.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR you have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data, and to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
