FAQ

Why should I be concerned about TikTok’s alleged violations?
TikTok knows it should not be collecting personal information from children under the age of 13, but it has done so anyway. The reasons for this are concerning. Authorities allege that TikTok uses children’s personal data to track and profile them. Through this wrongful tracking and profiling, TikTok can deliver potentially harmful and inappropriate content. What is more, TikTok generates millions of dollars in revenue from advertising which it targets specifically at children.
  
What will it cost me?

We offer our legal services on a contingency basis. A contingency fee arrangement means a lawyer is only paid if the case is won or settled, typically receiving a percentage of the awarded amount. In essence, their fees depend on achieving a favorable outcome for the client.
  
How do I know if I or my child qualify for a class action lawsuit?

You may qualify for a lawsuit if your child signed up for TikTok before they were 13 years of age. Complete the form on this page for a free case evaluation.
