Mr Potter pointed out that as the company was based in China it is governed by Chinese laws and would be forced to hand over any data requested by the Communist Party. TikTok also said the information it gathers is in line with standard industry practices and is securely encrypted. 'The IP address is in Singapore, the network traffic does not leave the region and it is categorically untrue to imply there is communication with China,' the company said in a statement. In response TikTok claimed all user data for the region is hosted in Singapore and only accessed by a small number of people who need it to maintain the site. 'There was significant amounts of traffic flows to servers in China,' he said. Mr Potter said his team had identified that on Apple smartphones the app was connecting with servers in China and they could not say what information was being sent. TikTok also checks the device's location at least once an hour and will persist in seeking data from contacts even if permission is denied, according to the report. Mr Potter said the Beijing-backed app taps into smartphone calendars, contacts list and scans the device's ID and hard drive to monitor all other apps that have been installed.
